using an explorer upper intake on a 351

[dmanic]

I have a 93 Bronco with 351w in it not, and I'm swapping it out for a rebuilt 351w with a few mods. it's still a non-roller, but has a mild custom ground cam, GT40 heads and the lightning lower intake. I have been told that I should use a 95 to 97 Explorer upper intake with this setup. Does anyone know what (if any) modifications need to be made to use the Explorer upper intake on my Bronco?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Meisk5. I'm actually in the middle of reading that exact post,(that maybe why I haven't found the info yet) but what it doesn't say is that if any of the original parts can be used. IE: fuel rail, TB, infectors, etc... It looks like they basically grabbed a bunch of parts that they thought would fit, and started piecing it together. I would like to know if I can use the parts from my existing 351, and what I can't use, what will I need to pick up at wrecking yards and such. I live a few hours from the nearest yard that will have what I need, and I would like to hopefully grab it in one trip. Before I decided to do this I did research and asked a lot of people about it, and what I was told was that it was an easy swap to change to this configuration. What I seem to be finding out is that it's not as easy as everyone has been saying, and most of them really hadn't ever don't it themselves.

Thanks again.
