4.6 Intake Swap ??

[Freshmeat]

I have a new customer wanting me to swap the intakes on his 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis and I haven't worked with a modular motor in quite some time.

It's just a matter of moving everything out the way and swapping, yes? I can't imagine any specialty equipment needed to do this...

If any of you know of anything I should watch out for, let me know, please.
Thanks!

If you are just doing the updated intake then nothing out of the ordinary will be required. If you are swappin on a PI intake then you need to get non-pi gaskets and plug a hose in it (can't tell you which once cause I haven't swapped on a pi intake).

Oo, let's start a supercharger war.

Trilogy sucks.

I've never seen a 4.6L with the parts off the top of it, looks really carb friendly.

Trilogy is K&N FIPK Friendly and looks stock with the factory air box for visual

I want to get me a newer 98+PI Vic without a motor, and drop in a 5.4 with a carb. Should make a pretty quick car. :evil:

[merc6]

5.4 needs a taller hood for starters the newer vic

If I had a motor like on that site, I would clean up the fender wells and firewall and run it without a hood!
