exploder intake
RIP 1988 and 1990 Lincoln Mark VII LSC
I welcomed the dark side and currently am driving a 2000 Dodge Durango SLT plus, with a 5.9, Code named project "Night Runner"
Shes black on black, fully loaded, with headers, 180 tstat, e fan, straight exhaust into a cherry bomb vortex ler, full tune up, ported intake and T/B, MSD coil, and round aircleaner.
Mods to come: Fully rebuilt and heavily modded 46RE, and a richmond rachet locker.

Yep I got it done Friday. The thing really screams between 3000-5500 rpms now. Feels about the same below 3000 rpms as the HO intake did but man the HO intake was killing it above 3000 rpms.

Plus when I was taking a test drive Friday night I spanked the shiznit out of an 89 5.0 GT vert with just a Edelbrock intake. He wasn't too happy I pulled on him by 3 car lengths :burnout:

Well when the stock alternator s out I might upgrade then. Since I don't have a high watt radio or anything it works fine for now.

1st of looks super nice and clean and is a set above your basic 5.0 HO motor.

Next to say something to what 1WLDBRD said
hell i like them both now but i used to like the T-Birds more and i still do.

looks nice would of had that motor in my car but the guy sold it and did not swap them out oh well heads,cam,and intake next year for the bird.
