3.0 Plenum Swap question

[edraws]

I was just wondering if it is imperative to swap the lower intake manifold or can you just swap the older plenum to the newer style?

That way you don't have to change the PVC setup, etc...

just change the plenum

Thanks 3.0 acclaim.

That makes things MUCH easier.

Hey 3.0 Acclaim,

Do you know hole size that needs to be tapped out on the newer plenums for the charge temp sensor?

New challenge...

Anyone know where I can get a used plenum. The wrecker in my area doesn't want the engines stripped.

i can get you one from the yards here i will be going next weekend. i do not know the hole size sorry. umm wait. there is no sensor on the plenum. maybe i just dont have one. you have a pic or something. idont know what hole you are talking about.

Hey 3.0,

On the '88 3.0 it has the charge temp sensor where the '89+ 3.0's don't. I have to tap it out according to this article,

This is my plenum, you'll notice that there is an extra sensor.

But don't worry about the hole size, I can find that out but how much do plenums go for in your area? That would be cool because I don't think I will be able to get one around here.

Got a plenum off a 93 Daytona 3.0L... $20 + shipping...

will port it for $50 more...

@ 3rd Gen 3.0,

How much is shipping?

Also I had a question regarding the PVC setup on the '88 3.0's.

I have a extra nipple on my plenum for the PVC hose.

Now I know on '89+ setup, the PVC hooked up to the lower intake manifold. But I'm not swapping to the newer lower intake.

I'll have to figure out where to run the PVC hose, or maybe the machine shop can tap a threaded hole and add a PVC nipple to it.

Hit me up though, I want it.

You have a set of phenolic spacers kicking around for cheap?
