made the pilgrimage to salvage mecca & im going split port!

[phillysrt4]

Well well well...

with thousdands of cars, i figured I could find a 99+ v6 i could pillage...

nope...

BUT I remember that 96+ windstars have a split port and the intake looks damn good so I figured "why not"? Plus the exhaust manifolds are perfectly setup for a twin turbo setup.

Also a bunch fo 94-95 cars to rape for spindles. Cant wait to get back there to get what I couldnt grab with limited tools this time.

With their prices, I'll get the upper, lower, heads, and exhaust manifolds for less than $100.00!! w00t!

windstar intake will not clear a stock hood....but im sure you knew that

also you need to fab a throttle cable bracket i think (cant remember that off hand)

[phillysrt4]

sh1t... i forgot about that... well I already bought a stock hood so I'll have to figure something out... maybe I'll just keep the upper cause it looks cool and since it was only $18 bucks for the upper.

As for mecca, its out on the east side of the state... Harrys. They have 3 locations. Their webiste is:

at least one week every month has any trans for $35 and any engine for $65 in their hazleton location.

as an aside, the first iteration of my project is NA mode. Im using the motor as-is. Once the car is inspected and sorted out thats when the split port goes on, and I might take a sawzall to the stock hood to give me the clearance.

There's plenty of time to sort out the split port intake... at least a month or so :)

I did some more research on this.

Long and the short of it is if you relocate the IAC and throttle cable bracket you have 90% of what it takes to clear a stock 99-04 hood. Whether or not the engine sits higher/lower in a fox with respect to hood clearance I dont know, but I'll play it by ear when the time comes for that
