Need to replace intake manifold... what to do...?

[Hammer]

First let me say, yes Ford will take care of that for you, no questions asked

I don't know if you're right about that Deuce... when my intake went, the dealership would not fix it under the recall. I fought tooth and nail, but they told me that the recall only included the 96-97 vehicles and not the 98... (even though I think the intake part numbers were exactly the same...)

It was a losing battle and I just went with the Motorsport setup...

As far as which way to go. The cheaper route would be to just replace it with another stock intake....

I would shell out the extra bucks and get the motorsport piece...

When funds permit, add the heads... and YEEHAA!!!

(Another option is the intake\roots blower combo..... replace the intake AND get a kick in the pants...)
