the best bang for the buck intake is one off of a 96-00 ford explorer it flows the same as the gt40 cobra style but can be picked up from a junkyard for about 40-50$ and they sell mustang dress up plates for those also

This is true, BUT you have to be ESPECIALLY careful when looking at someone who is supposedly selling a "gt40" intake off of an explorer. The explorer GT40 intakes look A LOT like the stock 5.0 HO intakes, and a lot of times sellers on ebay will try to pass a reg. 5.0 intake for an explorer GT40 one. You have to look at the runners and whether or not they are staggered.

A stock 5.0 intake's runners are all inline with one another, while the explorer gt40 runners are staggered like this:


thanks for the heads up !, il probly just save up for a brand new one
