      I listed everything you need in the first post... You can keep you stock lower intake, the upper needs to be changed though.

        And porting the upper and lower intake will help with flow. How much does a shop charge to get the intakes ported?

          Huh? There are 2 options for EGR. 65MM Lightning or a stock egr bored over to match the 60mm(stock HO) throttle body.

          Everything that needs to be done is in the first post of this thread.

              Why are you looking on the web? That not needed and won't work without even more modification. STOCK MUSTANG OR LINCOLN MARK 7 PARTS are all you need.

                  No problem. The HO upgrade is great, because it utilizes all the part the mustang guys don't want. So, it's generally a very inexpensive upgrade. The stock HO parts can be had for free if you know any mustang guys.

                      in the 2nd post, what does it mean by spinning the intake around? also, if i go with the 1.7 rockers, will i have to get a higher stall converter? cuz u have to get a tranny cooler, and im tight on the $.

                        The upper intake needs to face the other way. It can be put on so that the throttle body faces either the passenger side or the driver's side, and it needs to be put on facing the driver's side.

                            you do not need a higher stall converter if you use 1.7's... As for spinning the intake- the mustang upper is installed in the opposite direction as the vics/grand marq's.

                              ok so switching to a higher stall converter isnt necessary for about 240- 250 hp on my marquis?

                                The only reason to change to a higher stall is if you're making changes that would move the powerband up in the RPM range.
