97 was the first year... all the 5.0s had the gt-40 stuff....
 






But the intakes are cast aluminum & not like the Mustang gt40 intake???
 






96 was the first year. In late 97 they went to the GT40P heads.. got about 5 more ponies too.
 






UL, what exactly do you want to know?
 






Do the v8 explorer gt40 intakes look like the Mustang gt40 intakes? Are they cast alum. or made out of bent tubes? I saw a 97 Mountaineer that had a cast intake almost like the 94-95 Mustang stock intakes.
 






dang, thats what i get for trying to help......
 






They are cast aluminum intakes... very similar to the Cobra intakes. Here's a pic of one off a '99.
 






oops.
