I'm thinking of Trick Flow. They always looked like ass, to me.





Very nice, though, Vinnie! It's not very often you can look at a 302 and see something new.:cheers:





Jess!!! :hick:


well in the case of that intake it surely is ugly i think as well. (that trickflow) vinnies is sweet non the less and original but i think the trick flow looks beter in black


but i could just be partial  :hick:

Nice job !

You know, if you squint a little, it looks like it reads "EFI" where you machined that mounting boss off.

You'll have to come up with a new idea now,Thunderjet.As far as the EFI thing,I never noticed that.I may go back with the Dremel and cut out the fins so they are consistant all the way across.

Oh, I wasn't comparing Vinnie's to the Trick Flow. I was referring to his comment about parts that don't jive. The first aftermarket piece that came to mind was the TF.

That is the best I ever scene an explorer intake done. I can’t fathom to think of the time it took you,. defiantly custom. Got to give you credit case the time it took you you could of bought a coated cobra.

Thanks a lot Innes.It actually took me about 2 1/2 days.Including the time to cut out the fins on the side and taper the fin's edges for a look that didn't say "homemade".I have always wanrted a Cobra intake,but a lot of people have them,so,I wanted a "different" Cobra intake.I figured since the explorer and Cobra flow nearly identical,it could back up the performance as a "Cobra" intake.I keep using the term,but "One of none" fits this Cobra intake.I like it also becuase it's mine,and it's the only one.....for now.Unless someone decides to make one like it.I hope not,though.

I've thought about it.As I said,my intake plate was made from a s piece of aluminum sheet I found at the syard.I have a guy who can laser engrave and had thought about having the TBird logo put on it,but never got around to it.I want mine smooth an shiny,nothing else on it,and,to let the Cobra badge stand alone.

Sometimes I wonder what I’m thinking but on my explorer upper I put back on the stock 5.0EFI non HO plenum plate trying to make it look stock. Don’t think ill trick anyone but I’m trying.
