Jerry, I know you'll take good care of it. A week after installing the GT-40, I was REALLY missing it though.

Looking good Vinnie, I like the smooth intake better, really cleaned it up. :)

Hopefully it'll polish out really nice today. That'll make me happy.

Yes I did. I had no intentions of keeping the Trick Flow name on it.. I'm about 95% done at this point. The little man (Grandbaby) came over for us to watch, so I had to quit and shower so I could hold him. I'll finish the polishing later tonight. Maybe install it tomorrow...I hope. If not tomorrow, soon. I gotta run down and grab some lower gaskets and Permatex as well. After that, I'm ready. Pics later this evening as well.

Thanks a lot. I am trying to make it mildly unique.

I have to say, it felt GREAT to break out the drill and sanding discs yesterday evening and get busy.  I also repainted the strut tower brace black. The lower intake will be Ford Blue to match the engine block and heads. I was going to do some painting on the upper, but I'm running 50/50 on that right now. I'll polish some more then take another look. I also have to test fit some different FPV badges. We'll see about those. I can't wait to get it on the Sport. I will have to alter a couple of vacuum lines. This is set up a little different. No big deal. Pics tonight.

Alright....first, the disclaimer....

I only used a drill as the only power tool for this project. I used a 5 inch sanding disc with 5 inch peel-n-stick snad paper of 100 and 150 grit. After that, I wet sanded using 220,360,400,600,800,1000,1200,1500,and 2000 grit sandpaper followed by hand polishing with Mother's Billet Polish,and Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish followed by Surf City Garage Killer Chrome polish using two old white cotton t-shirts.  I have zero dollars in this project including the intake, polishing, gasket and bolt set, and fuel injectors. Tomorrow I'll get the lower gaskets.

Here's the intake as it is now.....

Thanks a lot. I ended up with about  6 hours of labor into it. Good enough for me. Now to find a couple of hours to swap it onto the Sport.
