if any1 has this part or if u guys think its fixable let me know my first thought was to braze it but idk if its an aluminum part or if it can even be so any help her would be great! thx

Well that summed it up right there. lol never saw someone videotape their post but certainly got the point across. It looks to me like you have a cracked coolant crossover on the intake. I'll suggest that you buy a new intake manifold with the aluminum coolant crossover like this one from americanmuscle.com(site sponsor...pm amnick for the discount code)...

Should fix your problem right up.

WannaBeGearHead

He doesn't have enough posts to get the discount code.

Oh gotcha. Sorry, no luck with the discount code...but still a good price from AM and free shipping.

Shoot, I wish more ppl did this, instead of "i hear a whine coming from the front please help" But I agree, most likely the intake failed on you, they are famous for it. And as far as what gearhead said, he is right but if you PM AMNick or AMStanger and tell them the situation and that you want to buy it from them, they should hook you with the code. Doesn't hurt to ask, most they can say is no.

lol yea haha i was kinda pissed off and half drunk in that vid but i figured it be a lot ezier to show u guys whats goin on under the hood.... doesn't leak when engine is at idle but when i give it some gas it sprays ..... and sry bout that haha im usualy more ez going but seen that crack pissed me off there looks like theres a gasket under there too think it could just be the gasket?? i went to napa and ford and they only show an O ring but its gonna suck if i gotta spend 200$ to get a new intake manifold and hay thx for the idea on the discount code i appriciate it

naza

didnt ford have a recall for all the plastic intakes??

yes they had a recall for 99-mid 01 models but ended a long while back. Nevertheless, he has the updated aluminum intake, but probably has a crack where aluminum meets the plastic. Swap in a new intake. Its really simple to install.
