Will the 3L upper/lower intake manifolds bolt up to the SVT heads?

The lower will work with modifications (the IMRC linkage is different), but doesn't the upper have the throttle body on the opposite side?

The 3 liter lower must be modified if you want it to work with the 2.5 upper, or leave the 3 liter lower stock and modify the EGR and vacuum lines to work on the 3 liter upper. Not a direct swap. There may be some clearance issues with the hood as well with the 3 liter upper, but by my mearurements, it "SHOULD" fit. One benefit of the 3 liter upper would be convensional porting is possible because of the straighter flow paths... I have an extra one if you want to work a deal on it...

Heheheheh, hot topic I guess. 4 responses in less than 5 minutes...  I have two uppers with the TB on the same side as 2.5. Slightly different angle too. Add to the mods list to make it possible, custom throttle/cruise cables.

Bret, the 99 SVTs have the (modified)3L lower already (I think). My lower is 35mm, same as David Z measured for his 3L lower (his E0 lower was only 32mm). Also, I had a conversation with an SVE engineer who said something to the effect of "they changed to the 3L lower" on SVT engines but did not give a date - so it may be that E1s have it as well. Interestingly, several Cougar guys have reported a 35mm lower but I think Brad Noon had a 32mm on his 99SE. Go figure.

I have yet to find a return type fuel system with the larger lower intake. I'm thinking that it goes together with the fuel system switch over... Just a thought... BTW, my '99 SE is return type.
