Default mustang intake on non HO 302?

i just recently picked up a 91 f150 ex cab 302 5spd. i used to have a 90 mustang 5.0 and still have some random parts laying around...i was wondering what will work from the HO stuff to my truck...im already planning on a mass air conversion, and i was wondering if the stock 5.0
HO intake i have laying around will bolt up to the truck 302. would make the mass air conversion nice because i wouldnt have the twin throttle body. also what size are the stock f150 fuel injectors? are the 19lb like the mustang? thanks for any help

I would think it would bolt on since it's the same engine. You would have to make sure the sensors plug in the same.

There are some comparisons on the web about the various 5.0 intakes. I have no personal experience with this, but it seemed like all of the comparisons recommended keeping the standard truck intake, because the others didn't have enough midrange HP to make the truck run any better.

The intake itself will bolt on, the stuff your going to have to figure out is the intake plumming itself.... The mustang inlet is on the passenger side and the truck inlet is facing more towards the driver side, the egr tubes are totally different, so you'd have to figure out how to plum that. Truck injectors are 19lbs just like the mustang. As mentioned above, the mustang intake will provide no low end whatsoever but would help from 3500 to 5500rpm. If your interested in an intake that will fit your truck no problem, let me know, ive got what your looking for. Also in my opinion theres nothing wrong with the trucks twin throttlebody, stock there 52mm blades so thats 104mm worth of throttle body, the stock mustang is 60mm. Also, all the newer ford stuff, 99-04 cobras and lightnings all have twin throttlebodys. Just my 2 cents

only reason i was considering getting rid of the twin throttlebody was because i plan on a mass air conversion and didnt want to have to fab up an adapter to go down to the single inlet of the mass air from the twin throttle body....the whole reason for potentially doing this is for the mass air conversion and because i have to pull the upper soon anyway to put on new valve cover gaskets.....thanks for the replys

Go to the junk yard, i think 94's and i know 95-96 f150's had mass air. Go find one with a 5.0 and buy the complete intake system off of it that has got the split from the factory.
