    Yes, that's exactly what I have in my Townie - you only need the cables from a Mark VII as they are much longer than the ones in your CV and they can therefore be looped around so as to come from the front of the engine - go to my SuperMotors site, there is a section about all that stuff there, with pics and everything. In case you decide to go the stock way I have a good-condition 50mm throttle body and EGR spacer I don't need, they can be yours for the cost of shipping only.

      Just get an Explorer intake. They are almost free compared to a new Cobra or GT-40 intake.

          A lot easier than finding a NEW or even used tubular GT40 intake. Check Ebay for the Explorer intake, it's usually labeled as a GT40 intake even though it's an Explorer.

            Let me give you a clue......

            I have bought and sold a pile of these cheap intakes over the past 7 years. I have never paid more than $200 for a complete intake. Get off your butt and do a search. Check out the Mustang boards.
            Here is an upper for $119 and a lower for $90::

            Quit whining and buy this upper

            Quit whining and buy this lower

            $210 for a complete intake.......... your search can be over right now....

                $200 IS cheap compared to $500-600 for new.
                Intakes don't go bad unless they're rolled over or cracked. I've only seen one bad intake and it was the plastic POS on a 4.6.
                2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.
                1992 Explorer Eddie Bauer, slight lift, 34s, and A/C...
                1979 Bronco Custom, 351M/C6/NP205, 4" lift, 35s, lots of fender trimming.

                    If $200 isn't cheap to you for an EFI intake, then you chose the wrong hobby.
                    Explorer intakes can be found for $200-250 on the Mustang sites.

                      Unfortunately, I agree.

                      Gotta pay to play. Of course, being a junk collector doesn't hurt
