    Explorer intake

    I may be able to get an Explorer intake for cheap with T-body. What mods do I have to do to use it in my 87 FOX? Is it worth the hassle of upgrade with stock heads? I might be able to get the heads also, but I really don't want to buy different headers since my BBk's are brand new so I may jys save $$$ for trickflows or AFR 185's.

    Basically , Is it worth my tiem to swap this intake for a stock 5.0 intake when the rest of the engine is stock?
