PI intake swap
 

I used a kit last time, but I think thistime I will do it myself, Do I need a different alternator? I thought all I would need to put this intake on was a colant tube the intake, and my home made spacers, whats with the alternator?

I think you need a new alternator bracket not a new alternator.

RE: PI intake swap
 

That is correct. a new bracket and you are set

What's with the new alternator bracket? I never did that when i did a pi swap and all of my accessories lined up.

Well Im just swapping out the intake only. So I will have a pi intake on NON PI heads. That is why I need the bracket. I am asuming you did a full swap heads, intake?

ok yeah, my bad i didn't read that right.

Good luck getting a bracket from the dealer. Those mutts. I just drilled my non-pi one to make it fit onto my PI manifold. Not swapped the heads yet.

RE: PI intake swap
 

Does the PI intake manifold alone help out much?? What kind of power increased would you be looking at???

Despite what others will tell you, you can't really feel the difference. I got it because I had a coolant leak and wanted the aluminum crossover thats only available on the PI manifold. It was a lot of fun putting it on tough. I can tell you one thing though: The PI manifold mates JUST FINE with the non-pi heads. You don't need any "adapter plates" or anything like that. Just use PI gaskets and they'll mate beautifully since the PI ports are larger than then non-pi ports. C
