right pi intake

[samsonhusky]

I'm looking at getting the opr replacement pi intake w/ gasket set that is on american muscle. Is this basically the same as the ford performance pi intake just another brand and will it work with the npi heads like the ford racing one ? Plan on getting it for my 96. Thanks for the answer in advance.

The one at American Muscle looks like the Dorman aftermarket intake. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-30036-615-178.aspx. My opinion is that it will work, but with a smaller plenum and different runners you would lose power vs. the FRPP piece. I have a nice FRPP PI intake I would sell you for $150 plus the ride, you would just have to drill and tap the hole in the coolant crossover for the sensor by the thermostat. You could probably use the thermostat and housing off your current intake. PM me if you want pics of my intake.

Get a Motorcraft pi intake. You will loose power, probably about 15-20rwhp.

To bad i can't just wheel a box of these frpp pi intakes here at my job. Pass them out as sn95forum gifts. I look at theses things every single day!

I forget where I read the forum and the dormans was reading low on horsepower compared to the FFRP Intake.

I recently did the swap on a 96 Mustang.

Don’t go Dorman, it’s a waste of time and doesn’t work cause of thebgaskets. you can make it work but why would you. You are already making a modification to the FRPP one with a gasket maker. Just spend the money, the power difference was amazing. I notice it every day without a tune!

Get the coolant nipple from ford if you need it

• This part is the coolant crossover needed for under the new intake to make room between cylinder heads

For making heater temp hikes in crossover

NOTE:”“Took a bit to get it installed on my non PI heads, definitely make sure you have the 99-04 coolant fitting and pipe that runs under the manifold as well as a 37 64th drill bit and taps if your converting to a non- PI motor, as well as the 99-04 gaskets which you'll want to use a bit of RTV around the coolant ports, as you'll notice a difference between the gasket and the ports.””

I thought it was best to use the non PI gasket set in order to avoid vacuum leaks?

I think the intake manifold gasket part #’s above might be non PI, my bad. But, you need to use PI gaskets. The plastic intake requires square gasket. I have no vaccine leaks either.
