Ford 5.0L EFI GT40 1/2" Intake Manifold Phenolic Spacer
The TSP Ford 5.0L EFI GT40 1/2" Phenolic Spacer installs between the GT40 upper and lower intake manifold sections on the Ford 5.0L (4.9L / 302 CID) EFI small block Windsor V8. Phenolic plastic construction insulates the upper intake from engine heat, helping reduce intake charge temperature for more consistent throttle response.
This spacer is specific to vehicles running a factory GT40 upper/lower intake manifold — it is not compatible with standard EFI upper intake manifolds or carbureted applications. The GT40 intake was factory-installed on the 1993-1995 Ford Mustang GT and Cobra, and the 1993-1994 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer, all with the 5.0L.
The kit includes the spacer, two gaskets, and mounting hardware. Adding 1/2" of height may require longer intake manifold bolts, so bolt length should be verified before final assembly, along with hood clearance once the spacer is installed.
Heat Isolation
Phenolic plastic resists heat transfer far better than aluminum, insulating the upper intake from engine heat and helping keep intake charge temperature down — the core purpose of this spacer.
Installation
Includes spacer, two gaskets, and mounting hardware. Longer intake manifold bolts may be required after installation — verify bolt length before final assembly, and confirm hood clearance with the added 1/2" of height.
COMPATIBLE WITH
FORD SMALL BLOCK WINDSOR V8
• 4.9 L / 302 in3 generally referred to as 5.0 L
NOTES
• Fits 1986–1993 Ford 5.0L EFI engines equipped with a GT40 upper/lower intake manifold only — not compatible with standard EFI upper intake manifolds or carbureted applications.
• The GT40 intake manifold was factory-installed on 1993–1995 Mustang GT and Cobra, and 1993–1994 Ford Explorer / Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0L — verify your specific intake manifold before ordering.
• Phenolic plastic construction insulates the upper intake from engine heat, helping reduce intake charge temperatures.
