Yep!!! There or in a junker. But remember, that tube distributes water to the heater. If you rarely or never use your heater, you can eliminated, plus giving you some extra power since the water only travels in one direction.It took me 1 year to complete my swap. Reading articles, looking for the RIGHT part and not just one that says¨it will increase 14rwhp¨and figuring out what was the best choice part by part. If you need anything else, feel free to just askI was in your shoes 3 weeks ago.
yea i do use my heater in the winter...i live in south texas and it can kinda get chilly in the winter..lol..although right now my dam heater core needs to be replace....i already did it once and 3 months later it blew out again!

Damn!!!! That sucks. Well in your case, you do need the tube, oh and don't wast your time looking fot it on ebay, TRUST ME. Go hit up some junkers to see if you can find one.

Nice set up by the way!!!!!! I went with Stage 2 P&P PI heads with high flow stainless steal valves and behive springs, Stage 3 Comp Cams, Typhoon Int., Bassani headers and no cat x pipe, borla catback, 24lb inj., 80mm mass air, 9mm wires, 3.73 gears and a Predator tune. Plus all the bolt on's available. I haven't dyno tested it yet, but I'm already thinking NOS[&:][&:][&:]

You'll need thermostat o ring, water pump nipple, the plenum gasket, Ford Head Changing kit (brings bolts, head gaskets, oil tube), intake gaskets, timing cover gasket (recomended, if its out why not change them) coolant tube (the99-04 one) motor oil, coolant. I think thats pretty much does it

Yes and no. It does help you with the basic tunnig purpuse, but I strongly recomend that you get a serious tunner or have it dyno tune by somebody that knows about mustangs. Trust me, you will feel the difference.

No, I still don't have track times, because as of right now, my mecanic is finishing instaling the Typhoon intake and getting ready to tune the hell out of it. I have to wait around two week to get it to the track, so as to give the new part the proper break-in, but belive me, I'm diying to go and test it out. We are looking for 12.5 or something around it, so when NOS comes, we go to 11.3 with a 100shot
