I had always thought it was an easy bolt on for the Mustang 390. However, I learned from this forum that a modification to the original Ford tri power air cleaner is necessary. There's apparently interference between the firewall & the back of the air cleaner. What the mod is, I'm not sure because I've not actually done it. There's no interference problems with the Fairlane/Torino big blocks.

I don't think you need to use the "Flat" t-bird intake for any special reason. I know the "stacked" tri power works fine on the FE in unibody cars.

Again, the main concern is which heads you're using. If you've got the C7AE & newer heads....you won't want the mismatch created when bolting the tall port tri power intake on.
This thread, so far...

 Yes...T-bird intake will fit. Its the full-size intake that's trouble. [n/m] -- Mr F, 08/30/2005
