Post Explorer upper....but what lower to use???

I got a 5.0L explorer upper intake manifold, but i've been looking and don't know what lower to get for this. I've heard that it is a mixed design between the GT40 and Cobra and the cobra lower LOOKS like it may fit, but i really have no idea. I've heard that the explorer lower intake manifolds don't have a certain sensor so i'd have to mess with the manifold to make it work on my GT. Can anyone PLEASE help me by clalifying what i'd need to put this on my car, and i'd also be very greatful if anyone could give me more info about these intakes in general. Thanks,

the explorer upper will bolt straight up to a cobra or GT40 lower with no problems at all, you are right about the explorer lower not having a sensor in it, im not sure but i think its the ACT sensor, you have to drill and tap a hole for it, luckily mine was already done when i got it so i didnt have to do it, thats why im not sure exactly what it is, just get a GT40 or cobra lower and your set

Do the Ford GT40 and Cobra intake packages (upper/lower) both have the same lower intake manifold? The GT40 upper and lower is like $600 and the Cobra is closer to $400, or are they different but can both bolt up to the explorer upper? awesome, thank you VERY much for the info!
