I'm a little confused on how the lightning lower intake manifold works. Is the heat exchanger part of the manifold? It is sitting between the s/c and the manifold I would assume? If so can the heat exchanger be removed from the manifold? I ask because I'm planning on putting a centrifugally s/c 5.4 2v into my mustang and I need to work out a lower intake manifold that would work. I was think about using the lower of a lightning and making a custom upper. Now I'm not sure because I can't seem to find any detailed/good pictures of how the manifold works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
