hey gang
I bought a 5.0 upper intake from a local speed shop. I wanted to maintain the stock upper intake but replace the upper with one that was nicer in condition. the speed shop got me one, cleaned it up in a glass bead machine and painted it. I paid 45.00 for it and than came home. I ran the part number on the bottom, and found out this particular intake came off of a 1986 thunderbird 200 horse 5.0l. I have read that the 1986 intake was more restrictive that the 1987-1993 intakes.
DID I GET SCREWED HERE??? please let me know. thanks.
p.s. it also appears that there are more vaccuum line on the underside of this intake than on my stock 1990 gt intake.
thanks
Jake
