INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
®
PLEASE study these instructions carefully before beginning this installation. Most installations can be accomplished with common tools and
procedures. However, you should be familiar with and comfortable working on your vehicle. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation,
it is recommended to have the installation completed by a qualified mechanic. If you have any questions, please call our Technical Hotline at:
1-800-416-8628, 7:00 am - 5:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday or e-mail us at [email protected].
IMPORTANT NOTE: Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation
will void your warranty and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
DESCRIPTION: This intake manifold is designed to allow the use of a carburetor on a Ford 4.6L Modular Single Overhead Cam engine. This will
eliminate the use of the OEM fuel injection system and is intended for longblocks that have been installed in early model or custom vehicles. It is also
intended for use in racing classes where fuel injection is not allowed or is not desirable. The #2839 includes an electronic Timing Control Module,
which picks up MAP, Crank Position, and Cam Position, and drives the stock Coil-on-Plug system. The Timing Control Module comes loaded with a
basic timing curve and rev limit, both of which can be easily modified using a laptop and the included Pro-Data software. The #2838 does not include
the electronics, but they may be purchased seperately as part #91237.

NOTE:
This intake manifold is not designed for use in vehicles equipped with the 4.6L engine from the factory. It is only intended to be used on engines
that have been swapped into a custom application where modifications can be made as necessary. These installation instructions do not attempt to
cover the steps necessary to convert a fuel injected vehicle to carburetion, they only cover what is needed to install this intake and the related
electronics on a properly prepared longblock.
MANIFOLD INSTALLATION:
1. Use only the recommended OEM intake gaskets with this manifold.
2. Fully clean the intake manifold and cylinder head flanges, as well as
the end seal surfaces of the engine block. No sealants or adhesives
are necessary.
3. Install the manifold on the block. Lightly coat the manifold bolts with
30W motor oil then gently thread them into the heads to hold the
intake in place. Do not apply any torque to the bolts at this time.
4. Install the themostat and allow it to drop into the machined recess.
The o-ring supplied with the thermostat should then be pressed in
and compressed by the thermostat housing.
5. The manifold bolts (including the thermostat housing bolts) can now
be tightened according to the torque sequence
(See Figure 1).
