Im needing a new intake for my 2000 and I cant find any feedback on this. Is it the same as a Dorman?

Thanks

Oh well I have read that the Dormans do not line up perfectly with the PI heads and so-forth. The Dormans come with intake, alt bracket, thermostat, gaskets, and some hardware for $3 more than the Ford stock replacement which AM told me comes with nothing? Im kind of confused to be honest. Thanks for your help

i bought a dorman on mine when mine cracked and leaked coolant. it lines up decent and came with all gaskets and 2 seperate alternator brackets for like 180$ (i think for 99-01.5 and 01.5-04 alternators). ONLY complaint i have with it is that i can't change the passenger side spark plugs because the manifold hangs slightly over the plug well. so i'm going to get my dremel out and grind off the overhang but other than that they work fine.

So you didnt feel a power loss or anything with it? This is just my DD that will never be raced, but I want to make sure I buy quality stuff for it. Thanks again everyone
