As far as I have learned you cannot without some sort of adapter (Maybe?) there really is no point though other than to save some coin.

Wrong, and the point besides being cheaper?  the intake runners are bigger and longer...  what will that do for your mid range to top end power?.....

yep it does fit....

Thanks to the guys at TCCoA for showing that link to me...

All the parts are ordered. the intake I pick up tomorrow, same with the gaskets and o-rings, but I have to wait till tuesday for the heater pipe that runs through the block...

I should have gone with the PI intake when I replaced mine.

I had plans to do a DOHC swap with a tune, but working on that engine intimidates the hell out of me. As long as it will still do a burnout, I'll leave it stock. :fart:

Yes but I meant there is no point in keeping your stock intake other than saving money. I guess I should have made myself a little more clear. Sorry about that.

Will the PI intake bolt onto the non-PI heads? I'd always thought they had to be done as a set, but of course I'm no modular expert...


I was wondering the same thing.

I heard that on GMs and CVs with this mod that the coolant tube in the "V" needs to be swapped as well. Good luck.

BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Special thanx to EricCoolCats for showing me to this site.:bowdown:

Can anyone else see how that was confusing?

when you install the intake and a butt dyno comparison

Well, my PI intake came in today, was $300 from A&A in hamilton.  Now just waiting on the PI heater tube that runs under the intake to come in, (yes you need it when doing the PI swap, you also need to pull the waterpump and tap out the nipple that he hose attached to for the proper PI type one.  that sounds like it wil be the worst part of the whole swap...) should be here tuesday.

Then I can start repairing this thing.  Cant wait, I already miss driving it. LOL

One feature I thought was pretty cool was the fact that the seals are molded into the intake.. no gaskets to screw with!



This is just to make due and get the car back on the road for now....  then I will be looking into a DOHC swap.  I will be going to the track next week to see how it works.. :evilgrin:
