    Thats part of why i love building these foxbodys. That feeling you get when you take something that looks used and beat up and turn its into something your proud of.

    Caleb, there's NOT a younger guy, anywhere, that comprehends, we're the ones that modified our cars before most of them could even walk. They're used to crazy numbers as the norm. We got, off the shelf, 225 on the strongest side, for a starting place. Simple knowledge is what separates them from us. Am I saying I know everything? Not for anything. If I got a car to be able to hold traction, I was siked. The production numbers that I achieved back then, were bad ass then. Now, a 'yote makes stupid numbers and not even think about doing it. We had to work for every jump we made. You have the crown jewel of intakes for a 5.0 and you're right at the car being able to be shown and it win best of whatever. It's immaculate.

    I bought the GT40 intake years ago around $300. Value has sure increased on that purchase 😃

    I used this intake on all of my pushrod 5.0 builds for about 10 years. I still have one intake and the display plaque waiting for me to buy a 1993 Cobra. I want to build it as a "Day 2" car. Very clean, but I just can't live with 240 horsepower anymore.

    I remember people who couldn't find the GT40 manifolds. Used to take the manifolds from 97+ 5.0 Explorers. They had to modify them to make them work.

    So wierd that I comment last video on how much these are going for then you come out with one restored. Bam! Really cool looking piece. I thought I remembered seeing these sitting in the lanes and some has covers that said gt40 on then some where. Who knows, maybe some other company made name plates you could get for them that were different or personalized, that was kinda of a thing back in the early 2000’s, when I had mine.

    Working on my bone stock 90, cant decide on keeping it stock or doing gt40 heads cam intake. Either way I go I hope to use 90s period correct parts. I miss cruising in the 90s. That white Fox takes you back... nice car.

    There's a guy on ebay who sells several different covers for the GT40 tubular. They look pretty nice. I put one of these on my '91 LX about 25 years ago. When I open the hood at shows, the first thing anybody asks is if I want to sell my intake. I wish I had bought 5 of them. After all these years, i can't believe how much money they sell for.

    Beautiful intake indeed. 1 occasionally pops up for sale up here near me but I agree $1200 is a chunk of change right now. I'm not there pulling the trigger for it..... yet. Just to have a piece of Motorsport history next to my '91 GT would be special to me.
