The aviator intake is similar to the FR500 intake for the DOHC motors and is often referred to as a "poor mans FR500".

It is a variable geometry intake, meaning that it has butterflies at the radius of the runners changing it from a long runner to a short runner at a specified RPM. This will allow you to get the low end grunt and minimize running out of wind on the top end.

 

FYI, I'm using one. But I think you already knew that. Are you still running B-heads? If so that intake doesn't bolt up. If you knew this just ignor me. If you have any questions let me know. Good price from what I've seen lately too.

This is a pic of the lincoln Aviator Intake and below is a pic of the FR500 one.

Yeah Byron, I know I'll have to go with C style heads.....I'll try and save up for the 03/04's and the extra stuff that goes with it.

BTW, I also got the computer, fuel rail, wiring harness as well.

 

WOW really good deal. Nice driveshaft you have there too.

 

Not mine, It's a pic of an intake I found on the net. I've got to get mine shipped to me.

 

Jeebus, son, you been hanging around Ralph too long.....

 

Next thing you know, we'll be seeing pictures of him in his underwear, no shirt, showing us his driveshaft too....

 

No Way no how. I'm hate being in pictures as it is, so anything close to that is definately out.

Maybe

 

Check this out.

It is a plenum cover for the Aviator intake from karkraft.com. I think you would be able to use the stock hood as well since the sullivan one uses a front entry and fits under the stock hoodline.

 

Where's the prop? I don't see the prop.

 

AHA....Aha,ha,ha.....

Your just jealous that you have tons of intakes available that don't cost $3000 from Ford.

I wish the aftermarket would schmooze up to the 4.6/5.4 4V motors.

I read awhile back in one of the mags that someone was releasing a NEW intake for the 5.0........THAT HASN'T BEEN BUILT BY FORD FOR YEARS!!!!!!











Yes....I'm jealous.
