Nothing to my knowledge, I believe they are direct bolt on for 87-93 5.0s, and require no extra modifications.

What do you mean.. do you mean supporting mods or do you mean what do you need to put this in your engine? You should have everything you need. Lower intake gaskets, upper intake gasket, bolts.

You also need to know the proper sequence to torque the lower intake and you will need to know how many foot pounds to torque both the upper and the lower. So I guess you could say that you need a torque wrench as well. Don't try to guess on the torque or you're gonna have problems in the future.

Well what else do you have for mods and what injectors are you running now? If you are stock or mostly stock other than the intake, then you will be fine with stock 19# injectors.

You will get some gains, but nothing great from an intake swap. The biggest restrictor right now would be those stock cylinder heads. You will get a semi-decent gain though.

You will have to get both the upper and lower intake. Can't just drop it in a stock lower.

yea 10-15 seems about rite... ull need some black silicone too... at less im using it for the lower... also high tack its kinda nice to keep you gaskets in place.... and the gaskets should have come with the intake if u bought is new... so a lil high take a black silicone... then toque specs just as how much and what order like samseed said... the intak swap is the simpliest of the h/c/i is mayb 5 hours total... at least i dont expect myself to take ne mroe than 5 hours on it and ive never put one on b4... just taking one off lol
