pvc intake

[Rhett]

Well I guess I have an old one then? On my 94? Or mine is broken in half.??
My friends 93 XLT is the same as mine...half the size of pughmans

I am pretty sure the 90-91 4.0L (yes in 90 it was in Rangers) has the small throttle cable cover and in 94 they started making that ugly 4.0L EFI one

Both of them look better painted

Mine has the smaller plate.

Can anyone confirm if there'll be clearance issues for this intake setup on an X with a stock hood?

 

[Rhett]

As you can see, my 94 has the half-size TB splash shield:

[pughman]

[Rhett]

Your truck is so pristine under the hood. Compare it to mine in post #24...

Before:

After 2 cans of Gunk Foamy Engine Brite and careful spraying with medium/low pressure:

So the fit and finish was good for the cone adapter?

It looks like a stock hood will clear the PVC based on the photo. I think I'm going to do this this weekend coming!

 

[pughman]

its far from done ! i need to do some painting and some other stuff.... but thanks !

and 410Fortune's 302 for the win !!

 

[pughman]

o ya ! it fit good ! i love it ! good and snappy on take off now to ! and this is a pic i took of the lift of the pvc off the intake...

 

[unpredictable1]

argh...maybe it won't fit

 

[410Fortune]

Na it should, it did on my BII which is the same hood clearance as a gen I.

You guys see that intake tube pctured? that sucker is from a 90's something Aerostar 4.0L. this is the intake tube you want it works great, you can have the filter behind the headlight OR by the power dist box like the early 4.0L OHV was (up to 95) I ditched my PVC setup for this tube, much better fit and it has no restrictions in it.

 

[unpredictable1]

everything bolts right up with that? i think i'd have a hard time finding that intake tubing. Can you be more specific on the year aerostar?

 

[Rhett]

Well I think 1997 was the last year of the Aerostar, so 90-97 probably. Sure an Aerostar tube will bolt right up, it's a 4.0 OHV also, although it has a squirrely intake manifold on it...

 

[410Fortune]

I wish I could but this one was actually laying on the ground in the junkyard and I said holy moely that thing will work perfect. It did. Later I saw one in another yard in an Aerostar so I then knew where it came from, but I didnt check the year. It may have even been a 3.0L.

This tube also fit my 70mm MAS and my 66mm TB.
