Svo intake manifold
#31
The 19's should be good, but 24's would be for some good safe measure. With my GT i am still running my stock 21's (flashy pink coloured ones ), but that's why i didn't upgrade them cause they aren't 19's.

Ok I may just stick to the 19's for the time being and then see how it's running when I get in the intake installed. Just running the intake with that 65mm cobra throttle body makes me nervous, the last thing I wanna do is run it too lean in the spring and blow it up and have the stang parked all summer.

Ya and the plan was to swap up when I do the trick flow swap, I am just wondering now if the stock fuel rails will fit the svo intake so then I don't need to swap as much when I start ripping into it on Thursday.

Not sure for about the SVO intake when it comes to the fuel rails. When i did the '01 Bullitt intake swap, i had to up grade to the '01 Bullit specific fuel rails because of the position of the cross over fuel line between the left, and right side at the back of the intake.

ok so I have the old intake and all hardware now removed (including the valley coolant hose and bracket which was a nightmare).Now I tried to test fit the new intake and there is no way it will fit with the egr tube. Now I wasn't sure if I should just cut it or disconnect it at the header. I know cutting it would be easier but then I would have no way to cap it because I would need to flare the end of the tube. Any suggestions ?

the other option I was thinking was to cut the egr tube now and finish the install and once I have everything hooked back up I could crawl underneath and take the tube right off and cap it at the header when I finish the install.

Here in alberta I cant see it ever being e tested, but either way its going to have to come out because it wont fit with it in. I may just cut it tomorrow and try to get the intake atleast bolted in before I head back to work.

Alright just another update I cut the egr tube today and got the intake manifold in but I made a mistake and reused the stock manifold bolts which are slightly longer than the one that were sent with the kit( brain fart). And when I went to torque them to spec I accidentally broke one off in the head so I will have to pick up a tap and die set and with any luck I will be able to get it out,if not I will be in a world of hurt.
