What should I ask for when looking for the explorer intake? Upper and lower?

Im gonna do the heads and shorties, what brand? I'm thinkin Bassani long tube headers, are long tubes better than shorties?

Where can I find the 3.73 gears and what brand?

Can I put a K&N on a CAI, cuz I want it to look good too. I hate that air box

Just ask for the complete explorer intake manifold. Ebay has them for $200.00 all the time.

Now this is just my opinion but I believe in a well matched combo. If you are going to go with the explorer intake you might as well get the GT-40P explorer heads. Ford sales some special headers for these heads. regular mustang headers dont fit GT-40P heads.

buy your gears new out of Summit. Buy Ford motor sports gears cause they go in the easiest.

Most CAI's come with a K&N Filter. I suggest the Mac CAI that puts the filter inside the fender. Thats what I have and it looks sharp.

Later.
