the intake should look like this. i dont know if those years for the mustang is right. i know 89 or 88 and older ranger intakes work. and yes it will be aluminum. remember you just use the lower half. also, not sure if you have read about it or not... i know it was mentioned on the old site, you will have to tap and plug the holes for the injectors. here is a picture of the adapter you will need with your lower intake. an easier but probably more expensive route would be to just go to an aftermarket intake.

Besides honing cylinder walls for extra clearance what other kind of machine work should be done to help these motors run better hot?? i actually spent a large chuck of money and had my cylinder walls coated. i polished my heads on the intake side only and im running reverse dish pistons

While you are plugging the injector holes take the time to hog out the top of that intake and gasket match and polish. Its easy to do the intake and head gasket matching yourself.

thanks for the help guys, first of all what do you fill the holes with and then how do you make the intake holes bigger?

Helps from pushing water out and if sh*t gets crazy they won't bend back and lock your engine up like a stock one does if you hit a car with your crank pulley.
