Dorman OE Solutions Intake Manifold 615-178

Although I still think Ford should have paid for this, as they lost the civil lawsuit against them for manufacturing a piece of crap. This Dorman aftermarket manifold was of the highest quality. It contained everything necessary to replace the manifold with the exception of the O-rings for the injectors. This is a 2 man job if your going to do it yourself like I did. Good luck.

Great aftermarket replacement. Only problem was the holes to hold down accelerator cable bracket could have been tapped or had inserts.

I bought this for my 96 Lincoln after I found out that my intake manifold cracked and it was past the deadline for the class action settlement from Ford. There are great instructions on the internet for the installation and it took about 7 hours from start to finish. The only problem was that one of the two temperature sensors would not come out of the old manifold and had to be replaced. The most difficult part of the installation was cleaning the mating surfaces. So far everything has worked fine.
