I have purchased a non-Ford "updated" intake manifold to replace the cracked and leaking original intake on my 1996 GT.
The part is American-made and seems to be of high quality, and it only cost a fraction of the price of the Ford part.
QUESTION: Has anyone had any experience with these updated intakes? One thing in particular: This new intake has rubber "O-ring" style gaskets molded into the top and bottom of the intake. Are these sufficient to seal the intake to the rest of the engine, or do I need something else, like Permatex or something?
Any info will be much appreciated. THANKS!
