Flapjack
Lunatic engine swapper
It's official, after hours of work, planning, scheming and designing, I'm selling my MMR intake manifold. I am selling it as a complete bolt-on solution to those wanting to swap a 5.4L engine into their Mustang.
A few things about the intake:
Power/Torque
Contrary to MMR's claims, this intake performs better on the lower end than upper. If you're looking for a track monster intake, you're probably better off with the JPC. On the plus side, this intake seems to have phenomenal low-end torque, which compliments the 5.4L engine nicely. If you look at the dyno sheet in my signature, peak HP is reached pretty much as soon as you hit the throttle. I've talked with a variety of custom fabricators who have all looked at this dyno and the intake design itself and have verified this is most likely the result of the intake.
Finish
I originally had the intake professionally polished, then powdercoated clear. This makes it incredibly easy to maintain. Unfortunately, there are a few blemishes due to "modifications" I had to make after the polishing and clearcoat were done. They are, however, around the flange area, not visible upon cursory inspection. The exception is a hint of red near the fuel rail, due to gas getting on a red rag. The gas caused the rag's dye to leech out a bit and set onto the clear coat. It can probably be polished out, but I'm just too lazy.
Included Accessories
- MMR billet fuel rails
- "Pancake" style alternator and wiring harness
- Custom AN6 lines for coolant crossover
- 120-degree AN16 elbow to meet GT style coolant lines (includes AN to smooth hose adapter)
Other notes
- This is not an off-the-shelf MMR intake. Their intake, while designed pretty well, is not made to mate up to stock components such as the alternator or stock coolant lines. A lot of time/money went into the welding and aluminum AN fittings to get this to work with the OEM coolant system.
- The intake is not "pristine". There are the above-mentioned marks and whatnot. However, the intake is still absolutely gorgeous and turns a lot of heads.
- Not CMCV-compatible. This intake completely bypasses the CMCV plates. No delete plates required. I believe this helps with the torque. It also definitely helps with under-the-hood clearance (no engine lowering/cowl hood required). It bolts directly to the heads with nothing more than a thin layer of black RTV.
- GT500 Throttle Body Required. The flange on the intake is made for a GT500 throttle body.
- Serious buyers only. I realize I'm probably hitting a very small potential buyer-base here, so I'm willing to work on the price if it doesn't sell in a reasonable amount of time. That being said, I'm not going to give it away. If worse comes to worst, I'll just sell it on Ebay. I'd rather not deal with the seller's fees, though.
- This intake will also work on a 2004+ (non-Heritage) F150. All the modifications listed were for a Mustang, however. Buyer beware, there will be some work required.
Please post any questions in the thread, as I'm sure I missed stuff.
Asking $2000 shipped. I have roughly $3500 in it with all the stuff done to it (not including the cost of the alternator, polishing, and powdercoating).
