Am also reading now that the ho intake won't clear the ds fuel rail? I've never seen that mentioned until I checked the 101 thread just now
where does one obtain an intake spacer? how big? I need another gasket, yes?
Any issues w/ hitting the hood with the spacer added? Am assuming no but it doesn't hurt to ask. At least I hope not.sigpic

I assume you are talking just the upper plenum?

if you are just changing the upper, its a pretty simple swap
you shouldnt have any clearance problems?

No clearance problems here. You will need some size torx bit for the plenum plaque..and various other common tools, ratchets etc..~David~

Modifications needed:
-1. Throttle Body: The linkage arms on the throttle bodies need to be swapped. It's easy and straightforward. Grind, swap reattach with screw, JB weld, or actually weld it.
-2. EGR Spacer: The EGR spacer will need to be enlarged to 63mm. A couple minutes on a lathe fixes it up. The 93-95 Ford lightning and some Aussie Fords use a similar EGR spacer if you can find it. Machine shops are usually able to do this without issue for a fee.
-3. Upper Intake: The H.O. upper intake will not clear the stock fuel rail on the driver's side. There are two ways to fix this: 1) grind a small amount of the upper intake out where it contacts the fuel rail; or, 2) install an intake spacer.
thanks guys...good to hearsigpic
