I heat up the base area with a torch and rotate them out. Then thread the hole 3/8NPT and screw a temp sensor into it as a accessory to also plug the hole.
I think a 3" cowl is the only one that will work but even with that youll have to relocate the IAC iirc. I'm planning on doing this mod in the future and I'm going to see if I can make it work with the factory hood just by cutting the hood in a way that the hood scoop can still hide it.
99 cobra hoods that come oem on some 03/04 v6s will house all intake swaps exept 97-03 F150. 3" cowl hood fits F150 intake 2.5 cowl hood fits everything else if 99 cobra budget hood not available
I've been researching this for a long time and I'm wondering if I could get some help. I want to put ITBs/individual throttle bodies on my 2001 Mustang 3.8L v6 however, because of the split port induction, I'm having trouble figuring out how to run them. I cant find any lower intake manifolds online that are single port.
@memedump3982 freestar or 01+ windstar lower intake is 1 hole but split port. That would be what your looking for. I would build a slim adapter box intake design around one of them with a welder and sheet metal. Basically make an adapter plate for the ITB you wish to attach to one of those lower intakes should work.
Mustang/f150 98 windstar yes easily can mount to the intake by bracket/adapter. 99 windstar/Freestar use alternative valve cover mounting. This instructional is general strategy for intake swapping. Individual hybrid combinations exist for each intake fitment, but contain individual items that make general explanation difficult. All intake swaps can be built from this base design, then modified with little to no explanation and leave the user to further modify if wanted.
@@terrycarter8929 lowest effort for mustang/windstar is to use the mustang coil bracket, cut off the L/R sides, line up to the windstar intake. Drill holes to match windstar side coil mount making the mustang bracket into an adapter in 20 mins. F150 rests on top of intake/99+windstar freestar all need remote/ valve cover coil pack bracket but then can also be used driver side to not extend wires. DIY intake wiring guide is also on channel to make All A Textbook swap. Thanks!
Ebay " vacuum manifold" 25$ Port bottom center under the throttle is for the 3/8 Evap line found in the passenger firewall area. It is most easily identified as the tube that deteriorates black stuff on your hands when you touch it
Evap goes into either. Second can be capped off if using stock iac placement. I use that for IAC into manifold on a remote IAC. If using a "vaccum manifold" this is this port you will preferably want that here or on the rear left manifold port.
@@mikebond195 for the intake I used a f150 cold air you have to cut about 6 to 8 inches off of it tho and when you run your pcv run drivers side to the big port under the throttle body and the passenger side to the cold air after the maf if you just stick it to one of the vaccum nipples it won't idle

I really appreciate these informational videos you have, probably the most in-depth and helpful intake swap vids on youtube
As someone who eventually wants to do a set up like this and run a turbo I found this video very helpful
Hey, would y’all be interested in racing parts for the 3.8/4.2? I’d like to make carbon/kevlar valve covers but they would be dry sump only
Where the hell was you a year ago when I was trying to figure this out.. I put the old on
Have you ever dyno'd a relatively stock 3.8/3.9 with a Windstar or F150 manifold swap? I'd be curious to see what the numbers would look like.
I would love to do this but not exactly sure how to start. Don’t have any experience with swaps from different vehicles
Google windstar swap and if you have more questions join FB group@ New Edge Mustang V6 Tech Support
What goes connected on the middle port that you have covered? And what about the 2 hole under the throttle body? Thanks
I got the same question what do you do w the bottom 2 and the 2 coolant hoses
I heat up the base area with a torch and rotate them out. Then thread the hole 3/8NPT and screw a temp sensor into it as a accessory to also plug the hole.
Do any aftermarket companies offer a replacement hood for the mustang that allows the larger intake to fit?😊
Look at the cowel hood.

Awesome! Thanks 👍

Can't the valve cover fit on the drivers side?

@@MustangV6TechSupport just asking. I'd rather not extend the harness if not necessary

So the freestar valve cover fits the 3.8l ?
I think so
Yes
I wanna know where i can get one of those vacuum port splitters
And also i am running the iac valve in the stock spot. But i dont know how to fun the vaccume lines under the iac on the bottom side of the plenum

Im just running my iac where it goes i had to cut my hood anyway
Been thinking about doing this. Best guess how much power and torque gains and or they Noticeable
@@mikebond195 you definitely notice it it and you can port it for more power since it's nice thick aluminum
@@mikebond195 bes guess about 15 to 20 horsepower and 25 torque
Thank you so much for the reply. Guess I know what I am doing next week lol.

I have a ton of questions what forum are you would love to have you field some answers

Do you sell mustang intake swap kits ?
Not yet just informationals
Ngl this is very complicated to understand
Incredible it's engineering meets junkyard mechanic.
Ngl it was hard to figure all this out and even harder to explain in sensible fashion in reasonable amount of time.
