@@Neomustangs Had a question... I know you have a lot of experience for a while now! A couple of months ago I put a 94 cobra upper intake and gt40 lower from a 90's explore on my 94 SN.... It had a small baffle not like my stock intake with a long baffle. And I noticed I was loosing quite a bit of oil! So I added a oil catchcan to it and, sure enough I filled that catch can every time i drove over 60 miles Can you to tell me by switching to the lower with a big baffle will prevent oil suction through PCV??? Somoene suggested I put a 2nd pcv on driver side valvecover up in front of motor. So I did that and it pulls half the amount of oil then before and runs a ton better but still too much oil for my liking. And it dosnt have blow by to myknowledge. Currently have a new 333 stroker with 7000 miles on it now in my 94 GT AODE with stock heads Any help is much appreciated

Yea I had fun in a few. I Just did a bunch of stuff to a nice 92 LX for a young man. I didn't have the motor open, mainly fixed exhaust leaks, straightened battery/charging system out and tidy up things. It had trick flow alum heads, Holley intake, bbk Cai headers and flowmasters with 3.73s. I don't know what cam or anything but it ran damn good when I was done with it. He got the itch and wants to boost it now lol.

Taking that oil baffle off of the bottom of the lower intake WILL cause the PCV valve to suck oil. It will pull oil through the cup screen and it will burn that oil. You will see lots of smoke coming out of the tailpipes when you put your foot in it. Ask me how I know!

That cover underneath the lower intake keeps hot oil from splashing onto the runners and heating up the air going into the engine. On any intake, wet or dry, it's good to get the covers off underneath and clean all the gunk before installing on a new/fresh engine--otherwise it's like doing an engine swap without flushing the radiator out.

[@jonpierce734]

It's worse than that. The PCV valve will pull oil through the cup screen at high rpm and the engine will smoke.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

Do you have a preference of the GT40 over the GT40p? From my research the GT40p is slightly better but only up to about .500 lift due to the smaller exhaust valves. So if you intend to run any cam with a higher lift you have to port them so the GT40 is actually better for a higher lift cam.

P over regular but you just have to understand the spark plug dilemma

[@Neomustangs]

Curious myself.

[@80sfordguy]

Neomustangs me especially so due to current and vehicles 10yrs old or less all for the most part can be either factory retuned using factory software or tuned with aftermarket software without removing the EGR if equipped or any emissions components. Obviously, that’ll only go so far then it’ll be necessary to remove all emissions and go all out for performance. In my case since I need to remain street legal and within EPA & CARB meaning (instant inspection fail if a check engine is on) but, I’d like to get as much power from upgrades like your doing with old blue except the need to keep stock EGR & emissions A.I.R. pump and equipment with at least high flow catalytic converters.

My problems are, EGR Insufficient Flow fault code and no idea what parts to upgrade to stay reliable, good idle, more power and stay CARB inspected. My idea is a sleeper that has good fun power, ok cruising mileage and passing state inspection. I’m not by far trying to break and power records here, just a fun old paw paw sleeper car, no turbo, NOS or forced induction except for small ram air hood scoop.

@11:49 I felt that! 🤘

[@Neomustangs]

Yes sir.

[@maroonsn95]

So you think it would only make 20ish more rwhp with GT40 heads and long tubes?(legit question) I was hoping the gain would be atleast 30-40hp with the heads since boost is involved. I'm planning on the GT40Ps with my little Novi blower and that's disappointing. Lol I thought they were usually good for 25ish hp NA. BTW, love the channel man. You and Brew2l have the best content!!!

@@Neomustangs I'll be looking forward to it. 👍👍

[@Neomustangs]

You bet!

[@hotrodray6802]

Lots of variables. Casting roughness, valve job, bowl ridges, good springs, etc. Minor details. There's 10 HP difference easily.

[@fairlane19641]

What can you do for power in an emissions state ? Supercharger ?

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

Hard to find any definite answers on this but can I use the Explorer accessories drive on an Explorer motor if I put it in a Mustang Foxbody? Explorer alternator , Power Steering pump , water pump, A/C compressor on the Explorer brackets?

[@Neomustangs]

Honestly I would just use the long block and swap all the foxbody parts over.

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

@@Neomustangs that would definitely be the best route to go. It’s HARD to find a foxbody 5.0 with accessories that’s not in a car. Guess maybe find a foxbody with a clapped out 5.0 HO, would be the best route.

[@tedoakley5600]

This may be a stupid question but can I just bolt on a bigger throttle body directly to the explorer manifold or do I need to use an EGR spacer? I got a upper and lower I want to put on my 89 GT along with some GT40 heads. Thanks in advance

[@Neomustangs]

Yes

[@GreenToFeelBlue]

So this car only has 19# injectors, stock heads with valve springs and roller rocker? No cam no nothin? No headers/exhaust? Basically GT40 intake and a super charger? I'm just curious for my own build. How much boost is that supercharger making?

[@Neomustangs]

That is correct. 7 pounds at 4500.

[@wastedwagesmercuryman6018]

Seems like that distributor may be giving out or spark plugs are too cold. On the power pull unburnt fuel was puffing. Slight bump up in timing and fuel will say yay or nay! Would raise fuel pressure first to verify that it isn't a lean misfire!

[@Neomustangs]

Untuned you’re gonna have that a little. It’s not that bad. But ya. Timing maybe. But then I’m being greedy in an already super lean situation I’d imagine

[@jpat99]

Once you convert to MAF, put some 36lb injectors/Billet fuel rails and F303 cam in the car. Porting the heads, extrude hone the upper and port matched lower as well. Did this on my 93' Cobra back in the 90's and the car ran 11.75 at 123mph on its best pass. This was rolling out on a street suspension and not a 5k dump as didn't want to break anything. MSD Boost retard back then and some help with 116 octane. On 93, car would run 119-120.

[@Neomustangs]

Nice thanks for the info!

[@jpat99]

@@Neomustangs Some crap on the alpha cams from Ford, but that F303 was a blower specific cam. I paired very well my my GT40 Irons, 1.7 rockers, cobra style GT40 intake, 65mm TB and Pro-M 77mm MAF. I was running 10lbs on the old B Trim that was the predecessor to the S Trim. I have an archaic vid posted on my channel from the 90's if you care to hear it. Not seeking subs, just making a reference to hearing the chop of the cam.

[@2liter8valveABA]

How much work is it to convert to mass air for gt40 heads? Love the videos 🤘

You dont really need to convert mass air to use heads.

It in the intake.

[@parkersgarage4216]

i got a question for you. i have a 91 5.0 i just picked up. its running like pure shit at idleand def has what seems to be a miss. i changed the tps, coolant sensor, new plugs, cap, and rotor. it is still doing it. its idleing so bad its like it has a cam and a miss lol. i just cleaned the egr and throttle body as well but waiting on gaskets. the funny thing is i can remove a plug wire and it doesnt change. not only that you cant even tell you removed a wire. almost forgot i checked the timing as well and it was gtg at 12 w spout plug out. im at a loss on this one man. do you have any suggestions or anything else i may be missing. i just bought the car 4 days ago and have been chasing down this issue. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance

[@Neomustangs]

Im going to be honest it needs to go to a reputable tuner and get looked at. Sounds like possible ignition or dead hole in the motor. Check compression.

[@kylekoch4815]

What did you do about the throttle cable bracket when installing the gt40 intake?

[@Neomustangs]

NOthing it bolted right up? What do you mean? I used the Factory EGR housing that was bored out. I machined it to match.

GT40 heads and intake should be a next progression budget minded. With rockers. Leave 19s alone. You don’t need 24s till mid 3a

Factory ones
