I thought I read somewhere that ford racing was making a GT350 type of manifold for the GT? I might have misread it 
GT350 Intake Manifold
- Thread starter thehunterooo
- Start date
From my understanding the manifolds being released by ford racing are for use on the coyote motors..the manifold I ordered shares the same part number as the frpp manifold,
and thanks to our awesome US postal service, I'll now have the manifold tomorrow, so answers to most of these questions and a lot of the mystery will be brought to light

Yay cant wait!
Small update, the manifold arrived at 6am, i got a chance to do some initial measurements, ill post those after i get home from work.....but the tb is a nogo as a direct bolt on there is a roughly 20mm difference in bolt spacing (the gt350 is much larger) so i guess its a good thing i ordered the tb, instead of having an adapter machined to fit the oe tb im gonna wait until i have the gt350 piece, which according to my parts guy will be monday of next week (due to the holidays, screwing up parts requisitioning) so no big deal its only a few more days....but i do plan on trial fitting and taking measurements of all orifices (orifii? Lol) today and will post that info for everyone, ive taken some initial pics already
Ok here goes:

Based off my measurements and what I witnessed during fitting theres roughly a little over a millimeter difference between the Cylinder head port and the gt350 manifold, now the waiting game begins, although I'm going to see about having an adapter CNCd to fit the OE TB onto the manifold, even though the GT350 tb will be here monday.

Also, forgot to mention. the real magic is inside this intake, a little less precise, but inside both manifolds are the 2 support posts, on the coyote, these look to be almost an inch in diameter whereas the gt350 posts look to be about 3/8. The runners where they meet the plenum are much larger in height (i managed 4 fingers wide with wiggle room on the gt350 whereas to get the same amount of wiggle i could only manage 3 in the oem intake), i'll try to get a more accurate measurement somehow, even if it involves measuring my fingers to give a rough idea of the difference in port height.
YOU ARE A HERO!
The gt350 manifold looks a lot more beefy that is for sure. Will be extremely interesting to see what happens.
Also I think I seen that FR has these at a $14xx msrp so these at a grand might not be too bad of a deal.

Not really a bad deal at all, and given some time, and stock build up, I'm sure these will come down in price
Also, I'm in the process of having an adapter plate made to be able to utilize coyote style throttle bodies.

Can wait to see the numbers it puts down
Interested to see results
Adapter made yet??? Pics??
Quick update, throttle body came in, intake manifold is on the car and everything works, no cels i will make an updated thread containing installation notes and will post dyno info as soon as i get some tuning done.
There are some part throttle surges due in part to my car expecting an 80mm tb not the gt350 piece, but cruise is fine. Im babying the car until the tune is revised so as to not turn this into a wtf did my engine explode session. Sorry for the gap in replies but the holiday season held up shipment of the tb.
Hope everyone had a happy holidays and i will post the new thread within the next week.

Can't wait to see the install post with installation notes and Dyno pulls!
Yeah it will be very interesting to see what happens, would be nice to see gains across the table with little to no loss on the low end, I hope...........
