Please can someone help me??

I have a 1996 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V that the intake manifold is leaking on.

My motor is stock standard.

I have been trying to find the answer to a very simple question.

On a forum that i was on the guys have said to go for the Power Improvement intake as it is "free" horse power.

they have said that one can put the Power Improvement intake onto a standard head using some silicone and the right gaskets.

now there are a few manifolds listed on this very site.

My question is, will the plastic ford racing manifold fit onto a STANDARD HEAD, USING THE RIGHT GASKETS AND SOME SILICONE?

if so, what gasket set would one use and what else would be required?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE POWER IMPROVEMENT INTAKE AND THE STANDARD ONE?????????????????????? 

The PI intake is designed to mate to the PI heads, which have a different port design.  The PI intake alone will offer very little gain without the addition of the PI heads.  Purchase a stock replacement intake that's correct for your 96 unless you are planning a PI head swap later.  Here's the link for the replacement 96-98 intake that we sell:   http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-9424A%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS

It has the improved aluminum front water jacket that will help prevent future leaks.
