Its is a very nice car, it has that improvement feel from the e series (which i miss btw).

I have always loved the XY shaker scoop thats why i had to have it on the au, plus the ba buldge has been done to death on e and au series falcons so it sort of stands out from the crowd alittle.

Have you thought about getting rid of the resonator on the intake pipe? It would neaten up the engine bay too.
This is what I did with mine...

Yep, Just a alloy Tickford centre cap....Fits perfectly and looks good too. I've upgraded mine even more now. I got rid of the intake pipe/Tickford cap and gone with this set up for a neater look (This pic was the trial fit before I cleaned it up to look nice)

Is that just an early E series intake hose without the dogturd?
If so that will be good as I am wanting to get some stainless inlet pipes made up , but didnt want to have the cars off the road while the inlet gets used as the sample.
I have an e series one out the back. If it is a fit , well thats another project about to start..................

It's a genuine Ford item but I don't know what model it's off. According to the part number it's from a early E Series. It didn't have a hole for the sensor so I cut a hole in it and used a rubber grommet from the top radiator mount from a AU and the sensor fits in perfectly.

I've read that stainless and alloy intake piping can often suffer from heat soak...Unsure how true that is but the polished alloy or stainless definately looks first class.

Btw my fuel tank is half full and gauge says theres a quarter in there wtf...

(edit) Re installed fuel pump and started car still ran like a*** so taking a break and when i get back into it the upper manifold should be off checking for vac leaks.
