Title: GT40 lower intake and water pipes......
Post by: vinnietbird on October 15, 2009, 12:36:04 AM
O.K.,this will sound crazy....I need someone to give me a GT40 lower intake,and  the water pipes for the passenger side of that intake for a Fox car (like ours) to use until I get the engine installed,then,I'll send my GT40 lower and pipes as a replacement.I want to get the engine as complete and detailed as possible while still using my current engine so there's no real down time.IF anyone has these parts,I'm pretty trustworthy and won't scam you.I'll even pay the shipping to get it here,and the shipping to send mine off.By the way,mine is in excellent condition,no damage.

DISCLAIMER....I'm working as fast as my budget is permitting me,so this may take a few weeks or so before I can send mine to you.

Hey Kitz,is it in fine shape with the internal EGR?If so,will you loan it to me and I'll send mine to you when I install this engine (may be a month or so).I'll find pipes somewhere.Ebay,Corral,here....someone has some.

I think I found the coolant pipes.So,the lower is what I need.

Kitz,if you're willing to part from your lower,I'll give you mine,with the coolant pipes when I'm finished.Plus I'll owe you one for later.

What year is yours Jerry?Also,does it have a place to drill and tap for the ACT sensor?If Kitz's is a Cobra,like mine,it may already have the hole there above the #5 runner.

It's fine Vinnie, It was on my engine, I had another one that was ported when I put the cam in. I will find it and get you a pic today.

Kitz,if it's in good shape and has a place to drill and tap for the ACT....or already has that done,and has the internal EGR,then no pics are needed.

Jerry,thanks a lot,and the same goes right back at ya'.I'm still looking for the heads for cheap for you.I'm going hunting Saturday morning and see if any have shown up yet.

What's the difference in the cooling pipes between that and say a regular SO/HO coolant pipe setup?  I have a hunch that maybe the GT-40 ones have no provisions for EGR coolant lines.  Is this correct and if so any other difference?

I just used an HO one with my Trick Flow manifold.  Never owned a GT-40 manifold and never really paid too much attention to the coolant pipes on the ones I've seen through the years...

Kitz,that's it !!! May I ???

Demon....,the pipes are the same.I just didn't have any spares.I have a set coming to me now.

Turbo....The intake you're getting looks like that,but no EGR hole in the middle.Other than that,identical.Much better than stock HO an SO intakes.

I'll try to get it out to you mon. I would do the baffle mod to it, before using it. I did mine and I haven't used oil yet. sent you some email.

Do you have a pattern for the baffle?If so,can you copy it on paper and add it?I'll cut one out and install it.
