IIRR I paid $75 for one that had aluminum tanks on it from an auto wrecker. He was asking $100, but since he had more than one he took 75. This was 5 years ago or so. I bet he would take 75 cash.
Would it just be better for me to get the whole kit with ic? How much will the inlet and outlet position vary between different brands of ic?
The inlet and outlet on all factory Ford ICs are the same. The early 99 spyders, that you will need, are getting hard to find, and getting spendy. If you have fab/welding skills the DIY is the cheapest. If you are in a hurry, and lack the skills, the kits would probably be the easiest.
