Ford Racing intake manifold/throttle body - Focaljet

**lapp4sm** · 08-07-2008, 01:01 AM

Anyone looking for a great deal on an intake/throttle body? The intake is Spec Focus legal, but I don't think the throttle body is (perhaps with a waiver?).

This is not my auction and I have no information other than what is on ebay.

If you want this, you should buy it soon, I bet it won't last long.

The Throttle Body is Legal as well. Sounds like a great deal.

Lapp4sm, are you using an SVT alternator bracket with your FR intake manifold?

**lapp4sm** · 08-07-2008, 11:35 PM

No, I'm using the stock bracket. I made a plate, 1" thick, that puts the alt out 1" and down 3/4". With this, I was able to use the same surpentine belt. Unfortunantly I didn't draw it up very well, so reproducing it isn't easy without more trial and error.

Any issues with alignment?

**lapp4sm** · 08-08-2008, 02:25 AM

No allignment issues. It worked well.

I think that Ford sells one now (made for the new manifold).

I am using the newest version manifold. I think that this ebay item is the older version, but it does come with an alternator bracket.

What if it is the newer designed manifold?

I have been told the SVT alternator bracket will work with some modification.
