Ok everyone, i have someone who works at a ford shop, who is gonna install my new cobra manifold for $100.00. Well he wants me to buy everything before next thursday, like oil, and new pcv valve and the o rings between the injectors, and manifold i think. Where can i get all of this stuff, so we dont run into any problems during the intake install. thanks for all ur help

You can get the injector o-ring kits @ Pep Boys. They come w/ new o-rings and caps. The Kragen in my area didn't carry them.

You should also change the thermostat while you are at it. You will also need gaskets (T-body, upper to lower, lower to heads, EGR (maybe), etc.) of course

I don't remember if the stock EGR spacer and fits the cobra. I think it does But I would double check.

Oh yeah and don't forget coolant as you will have to drain your radiator.

Could you please be more specific please, so i can right it down and go get the stuff like which gaskets and stuff. What egr spacer, i have a bbk tb and egr plate, where do i get the tb gasket and egr gasket, and i just put a new thermostat in like 100 miles ago, and i believe the manifold should come with all the gasket, i ordered the polished cobra intake from texas mustang, and someone told me about a pcv valve and stuff i dont know alot about this stuff, but im learning, thanks jon....

I've never actually ordered a new intake so I do not know what they come with. Make sure they include the gaskets to mount the lower intake to the heads and the gasket that goes between the upper and lower intake.

If you are putting on a bbk t-body and EGR plate you should be set. They should come with all the necessary gaskets (I would call the place you bought it from and make sure).

So you will still need the injector o-rings, coolant, oil, and pcv.

That's all I can think of right now. I would call Texas Mustang and double check to see what comes with the BBK stuff and the intake. They should be able to tell you if you need anything else.

FYI,
cobra intake has egr build in.
only need TB.
intake comes w/upper to lower gasket and
pvc tubbing,bolts only
your going to need;
intake gasket-head to intake,i like felpro 1250
ther-stat gasket
oil+filter
re-use pvc or buy new one
re-use coolant or replace
re-route some vacumm lines and plug egr water lines.......umm
your ford guy should have told you this,if he knows what he is doing.
dont forget to adjust your tps,idle,timming,ect

Get ultra black RTV or if you have the cash Right Stuff by permatex to use on the front and rear seals instead of the cork gaskets because they tend to leak.
