Is this a better Replacement Intake Manifold than the Dorman 615-178 or the Evans-Fischer EVA 45272043318?

The OEM Ford intake is a much better choice quality wise and not too much additional money. It uses the standard OEM type gaskets and not the o-ring inserts that the Dorman uses.

The dormain if I am correct is only good for a non PI motor. This is the better buy and you wont lose any power by installing it.
177975
Yes, if you buy a dorman. you always from that point, have to use a dorman gasket. Any other type will not work and dorman is hard to find and tend to leak.

To the best of my knowledge this is the PI ford intake. The coolant passage for the thermostat was modified from the plastic housing and passage to an aluminum one. If your updating for an earlier 4.6 you'll have to modify the alternator bracket. Hope that helps you.

Yes better air flow than the Dorman. I don't know anything about the Evan-Fischer.
177978
Yes. The dorman is a cheap imitation with poor flow and sealing. Get the ford part

The manifold itself bolted to my 1997 Grand Marquis without any issue. It is the lack of an appropriate Alternator bracket that required me to modify my existing alternator bracket to fit. I also had to modify the existing bracket that attaches between the manifold and the throttle body as well. It had to have new mounting holes drilled to reposition a vacuum switch (actuator?) that needed to be raised up to clear the Dorman manifold. You will also want to make some type of bushings to go around the bolts for aluminum thermostat housing and fit inside of the aluminum bolting flanges. I had to buy another one when the first one broke off the flanges due to nothing supporting and carrying the force to the surface of the manifold itself. And yes, I did use a appropriate torque for all the bolts. So, this kit is not a "bolt on ready" as it could be (at least not for my 1997 model).

Yes, this is what I pay'd for my set of 8 ignition coils. I pay'd $169.99 for a intake manifold also, you will pay more at your local auto parts store.

it is a breather hose and yes the kit has the same part. I put the intake on my 98 Dodge 1500 with and electric fan kit and gained 2.5 mpg on the highway. I can recommend this intake kit and its easy to install. only took me 30 minutes.

Yes it will. I installed it in mine and it worked without any shims . Might want to check your drive gear mesh to confirm. My 468 has a Ededbrock Victor Jr intake but I don't think that changed the deck height over a stock manifold if that is what you are running.

Doug, The manifold did not fit my 96 RAM 2500 until I had a muffler company cut the old flange on the driver's side and solid weld it to the header. The passenger side is joined at the flange with no problems. The durability of the headers is good. I have about 55K on the headers with no bleeding or decomposition of the header at the bends. That was my only hangup on the system. Hope this helps you. R. Johnson.

This manifold is the only one for all the Pro-Grid Vertical DE filter series. The height of the elements seems to be the difference between models (as well as the containment). This part was a perfect replacement for my model 6020. PCH

I would check with bmw parts and get the part number and see if it matches the dorman parts list for this part.

This intake is strickly for the triton v8, the 5.4 to be exact. Dorman does make a v6 intake though. I do highly recommend these intakes, 10x better then stock!

I can't answer an affirmative yes. I am sure Gates has a cross-over part number to make the confirmation. If the belts are the same for the 3.3 and 3.8 and the engine has the same pulley system you would be good to go. Honestly - If you are having issues. Consider replacing the water pump the idler and tension pulley - have had mine for two years and just installed it. I think the idler pulley bearing was bad and that might have actually fixed the problem.Installing the belt is a bear.

Check the dorman web site to see if the part numbers match. I believe that it is actually called the "End gate" rather than the tail gate.

Hi Keith Neville,The diameter of the Dorman 800-074 Fuel Line is 5/16". You could also confirm this information from the different Internet sources.Have a great day,Zoya Amir-Smith

I don't know which one you are looking at, but my choice is a poor quality major disappointment. It fits poorly but works. Choosing aftermarket replacement is a crapshoot.
