just found one on ebay. After the cutting for heater hoses, does it just pop on or did you have to mount it a special way? also instead of cutting out can the hoses be rerouted ?

I'm thinking if the intake tube isn't in the way...you could drill grommet holes in the intake cover and feed them that way vs. butcher cutting it all up...

oh i bought a set of relocating tubes off another member last year as well. he had them on his truck with old cover. just a matter of draining the coolant down unhooking the hoses, using the stock o rings in the replacements and putting it back together.

The ball studs are integrated on the 5.0 cover. The cover comes with rubber grommets that you push into the holes on top of the plenum. Everything just snaps into place.

As for the coil covers, you'll need to either purchase the factory plastic studs for it or just use some stainless M6 allen heads which is what I did. They work great.

Here's EVERYTHING and more that you need to know. Happy reading!
