Could I take out the intake manifold from the 2005 lincoln Aviator 4.6L DOHC and put it on my stock 98 LSC? Should I?
Well, looking at it from the future, the only reason I think it'd be worth the time and monney would be if I intended to turn the car into a high performance vehicle, having C heads would allow a lot more workability, but as it right now, I think the most I will do as far as the intake goes is try and find the 96-98 Cobra intake manifold and install that instead. Finding one has proven to be very dificult however. I live in BC Canada, no sure if there are any guys frequenting here that might have such a part, but my email is kmperreault1@gmail.com if there's anyone willing to sell me one.Way to many hours for miniscule gains.
heh. I clicked this thread to say "hey. after all these folks said not to bother, and you're still thinking about it, you should totally do it." After all, someone has to be the first at everything.
Alternatively, the Cobra intake is proven, known, well documented, fits nicely, and looks great.
you'll get no judgment from me either way. I'm happy to support anyone who is enthusiastic about these cars.
Please keep us posted, whatever you decide. it's been a while since we've had a really deep build thread. I'd love to see a fresh one.
I'm not really familiar with the Aviator fuel rails to really say or not.Would the aviator fuel rails work with this cobra swap?
I think you're right on the money here. I'm putting off any serious repairs till next spring/summer, and when I can do it in a shop. That said, I have some time to decide and the parts are in storage for now. Putting in those 05 Lincoln C-heads would obviously be a big upgrade, but I see some serious issues in my future if I used the Aviator 05 intake manifold (which admittedly is pretty rad with its 8 long runners and IMRC are at the top this time, controlled by two separate arms) .Looks like "about 2 beer cans high" to me..
