72zcar Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I ran across this on craigslist. What do you think? Not sure if this is a one-off or if he is making these. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/224669801.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That is Alsils mount I believe. 73botiz (mike) makes them and if I am correct has always made them for him. It is a great mount and is high quality. I have one. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecp48 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does anyone know if this (Alsils mount) mounts the engine low enough to use a Cobra or GT 40 Intake? Iwill be using the 97 Explorer pan so the front drop on the 5.0 Pan will not matter. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival5 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I'm using Alsil's cross member, on a '88 302 out of a mustang hatch. I'm still in the middle of my swap but I have had to modify it to clear my oil pan and the intake, specifically the egr valve, is at least an inch, inch and a half too high so my hood cant close. It may be more it may be less, but thats what I remember off the top of my head. My engine and intake is completely stock, I believe the GT-40 is 3/4 of an inch shorter? so it MAY be close to fitting without modification. I'll try to get out and see exactly how much is needed for my hood to close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoeightnine Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yep. I have the Alsil cross member also. He provides two types. Standard and EFI. One is lower than the other by an half inch I believe but dont quote me on it. Shoot him a PM. He also has e-mail and a home page. You can look him up in the members list for the contact information. I will say this, when I got the cross member, I was pleasently surprised at the quality. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Alsil's mounts were originally made for the 94/95 5.0, which is a variation of the T-Bird 5.0 HO engine. It is lower than a standard 5.0 intake by about an inch, IIRC. He also will make the crossmember with as much drop as you want. You just specify when you order.

Rival5 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Sorry for taking so long to get back. I need about 1 inch for my hood to close. If you were to have alsil's mount made one and a half inch to two inches lower then the hood should close, but then there might me clearance problems with the oil pan.
