01 cobra with 00R intake?

[Mrpancho95]

So quick question guys, there is a 00R intake manifold that was cut up and the runners have been shortened, would anyone run this on a 99-01 car or use it as a desk paper weight?

Pretty sure with runners that short you won't see any gains unless you rev it upward of 7500, will lose bottom end torque as well

 

[Mrpancho95]

I was thinking that too. It'd be better as a paper weight for me

Will it fit? I think the because of the taller deck height the intake is slightly wider and won't fit?

There's a weld bead in the middle. I'd guess they narrowed it as well.

Good catch, you're probably right.

I've read a couple of threads that say it's too wide stock but it has been cut down because it was a prototype, but was not scrapped and the people that are selling it say it will fit the 4.6, so I thought if it works then it would be a good base for a built upper intake manifold.

It's not a prototype, it's just a hacked up Cobra R intake made to fit a 4.6. Also, it may have the GT port size which makes in good for only a GT headed engine.

has c ports but the gt heads are larger aren't they?
