Ok I got my intake from PureRage and it is being polished at the moment. It takes a Mustang TB off a 86-93 5.0L. They make them in 65mm, 70mm, 75mm. I think I am going to run a 75mm but was curious if any of you guys had some other ideas?

ok, now i understand your post.. hehe.. what size is the diameter of the new intake mani where the TB connects to it? go with taht size.. but. personally.. with that small of a motor, I think the 65mm maybe already too big.

>what size is the intake?
4" tube style manifold w/ about an inch less on the runner than stock. I haven’t measured the opening yet, I asked Ray (PureRage) what size TB he had bolted to it and he said 75mm. I was thinking that was a little too big for street use but would be nice at the track. I ideally don't want the car to change too much between street and strip but I want the car to be a wicked street car that is basically on the verge of being a track only car.

got any pics of the intake?
how much did it cost u?
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.

I paid him 200.00 for it.
I think a shop in Florida made it. Worth the money imo, the welds are very solid and it has tapped openings for everything as well as the adapter plate so I can bolt my stock tb on.
No pics of my own yet but I know some are floating around. I will post some when it is done being polished.

hey i just got a complete intake system, it has a 70mm mustang tb, and 2 fuel rails. it is not intalled yet, but the guy that i bought it from said that this is perfect set up for either high compression NT, or high boost turbo. so if you are planning on doing quite a bit of work to it, i would recomment a 70mm. i personally am going to wait to install it until i do have higher compression (im going all out naturally asperated).

I know this thread is old as hell, but this statement makes you my hero. Always loved your car. Such subtle wrapping belies a monstrous car. Respect!
