Air intake? MAC makes one. Try www.explorerexpress.com

MAC is the only way to go for an emissions-legal intake for the 5.0L. I have one on my Mounty and I love it. Great sound, much improved throttle response. The only downside is that the intake air temperature is much higher once the engine is warm. I've recorded temps as high as 205F with my scanner.

I consider it the best of bang for your buck. Superior filtration over K&N, same performance as K&N, and only about 30 bucks. You wont be cleaning your MAF sensors quite as often with this setup.

You could also buy a Volant air cleaner for a 4.0, and use the 302 inlet hose, which is the only difference. Good luck,

That suggestion sounds familiar.

MAC seems to be the best kit for the V8 as is. Consider an ASMI intake. They sell on eBay. Cheaper than MAC but less refined. I scored one just for the intake tube which I rigged into the Volant leftovers from my old SOHC Sport. I have a truly custom intake for my Eddie, but not the cheapest way to go!
