I just picked one up today and was wondering if you need to buy an elbow for it or can I just bolt it right on with my 70mm throttle body and spacer?. I was reading about this on stangnet, and they were saying something about an elbow adapter. Also is the gaskets I need going to be the same as if it were the tubular gt40 intake? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

If you're going to run a EGR, you'll need to run a spacer. No need for the elbow. And yes, the gaskets are the same as a GT40 tubular. Make it easy on yourself and just ask for a 93-95 Lightning upper gasket kit.

Yeah. I bought the upper and lower. What's going to be the problem with the vaccum lines? I'm probably going to have my friend who works for ford install it so I'll let him deal with it.
