here we go....i got it now...$87 delivered. what else do i need? i'm goin to get the actual IC tonight, and the pipes as well.

 

Looks like all you need is some clamps and some time. I used a sawzall some but the best tool I used was a grinder with some cutting wheels. Get quite a few cutting wheels. Be careful of the radiator.

 

Are the intake pipes on the heads any different?

 

If you have an early '99 Y-pipe and it looks like you do it will just drop in. The boots you have on that Y-pipe will fit your intake manifolds.

On a side note, have you heard back from the guy with the axles? I will need that plate on the bottom of the axle.

 

I will try to rattle his chain today

 

The early 99 is a direct bolt in for our trucks. Just make sure you change the clamp that connects it to the turbo. The old one will work, but it won't seal correctly.

 

i don't have the right clamp then. what must i do to get one? the guy who had the Y pipe didnt have one.

 

the v- band clamp for the turbo connection is ford #F81Z-6C640-FA....dont forget to plug the sensor with 3/8 pipe flush plug and the hose fitting is tapped to 1/8 pipe also flush plug. this all assuming you still have the fuel bowl...give us a yell if we are not coverin what ya need

 

dang man you are better than the guys at the ford parts counter.....way better

 

Im not sure about this but IIRC the y pipe is 2 3/8" and the stock intakes are 2" so you need a reductor boot maybe somebody correct me

 

you are correct . th y-pipe is 2 3/8 and the intake plenum is 2"......but if you look @ his pic, it looks like he has the oem early 99 boots

 

Well I have in my book that that ford #F18Z-6C640-FA is for the couplers for the Y pipe, and I have this for the <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CJAGJ%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <wontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:ES-MX;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->Clamp (Y-pipe to 94-97 compressor): F81Z-8287DA or M/craft Service Part #YF-2488

Ok, thank you, you are right. I thought that the early 99 has different size of the intake plennums than the OBS.
