My friend i selling me the following:

AU V8 upper and lower manifold with manifold gaskets
AU throttle body
EBGT MAF
24# injectors
Fuel rail and injector wiring loom

Total cost $1500 which is installed. The part are all unused as in never been on a motor.

Is this a god price? What is the size of the AU throttle body (I assume its a standard one?) and what is the size of the MAF? Will this stuff work with my PCM?

Thanks

Sounds like a good deal to me NZ. If the AU intakes are anything like the explorer ones your doing well, around $500. The AU tb's are woth $450 new from ford and are normally 65mm as opposed to the 58mm standard. EBGT maf has to be bigger than the standard e-series maf so your in front there, about $600, not sure as to the size but anything bigger than 55mm is excellent. 24lb inj. are worth about $600 alone and fuel rail and injector loom from an EBGT are hard to find also. Plus your getting it fitted which is half a day at least. Yes well I say your absolutely laughing with that price considering the parts are brand spanking new! You lucky bastard! DO it!

The Au manifolds are the same design as the EB GT except the lower is cast alloy versus steel.

If anyones interested he has 2 other manifolds spare he'd probably sell

what type of manifolds? please explain

The AU's run an explorer manifold. Same lower at the GT40 as used in the EB & EL GT, but the upper doesn't flow as well, somewhere around 160-170cfm compared with 200-210 for the GT40/cobra manifolds.

I think it is a good deal, especially installed. As shav said, you would probably be looking at over $1500 for similar second hand parts, and then a couple of hundred to install them.

BTW, fuel rail and injector loom is exactly the same as the stock one so you might save a bit there if he will seperate them.

Grant, the AU manifold have to be better flowing than the E-series manifolds right?

Do you think and aftermarket upper mated with the AU lower will still be ok?
