Okay, I was doing some reading on Mustangs (what else) and this 5.0 manual was talking about having to remove my motor to change my intake. I think in the book it was talking about upgrading still to an injected intake. I am changing a CFI (Central Fuel Injection) to a carburated intake. Will I need to remove the motor? Pleas help! I am going to pick up a Haynes manual before I begin the proceedure, but now I'm scared that I'd have to pull the motor.. and I have no way to do that at the moment.

I don't see why you would have to pull the motor. All 12 bolts for the intake are easily accessable. What ever manual you have through it out.

Sorry what do you mean by that?

He means, take that manual you have and toss it in tha garbage... because you do not have to remove the engine to change the intake

Thanks guys. I didn't buy it, I was flipping through it in a bookstore. I havn't bought the manual I'm going to use (I plan on using the Haynes manual, I lost my old copy).

Thats funny stuff right there.Whats the name of this manual?

racingboy

I forget it was something along the lines of rebuilding your 5.0 Mustang. I can try to find it online if you want?

Get a Chilton if possible. Haynes manuals have always left me stranded.

Also, I've found "The Official Ford Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference and Performance Handbook" to be a pretty good read. It's not very hands-on technical, but its loaded with all sorts of information from all 5.0 model years.

Cool thanks. I'm thinking of getting a Haynes because it is easy to find around here. Does anyone know where to find a Chilton in Southern Ontario?
