    You will need headers if you put a cam on your truck. The stock manifold is not efficient enough even for stock. The gases bounce off each other in the stock manifold and causes back pressure.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    Nice write up man. I didn't sift through all 7 pages, but a few things I want to touch upon that you already mentioned in your original post:

    4.30 for the 9.75 - although you may have found a 4.30 for the rear 9.75, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE makes a Reverse Cut 4.30 for the 8.8. I have called countless R&P manufacturers and they all say no. Now, if I can get about 200 ppl I can get a company to cut them for us, but the lowest number they will cut for a new R&P is 200.

    You are correct when stating that the 4.6 mustang s/c will be a direct bolt on for the 2v 4.6L f150's. just make sure its the same block as ford had 2 4.6L blocks for the mustang. Also w/ that s/c kit, the mustangs air box is in the opposite corner as our trucks, so from the intake, it makes a straight line for the passenger headlamp. W/ a few elbows you can direct it back to the driver side corner where ours sits.

    Very nice research indeed man! :waytogo:
