Fox Mustang 5.0 Trick Flow Upper Intake describing vacuum hose transfer and location 

In 2024, I started my new project in my 88 GT 5.0, and you helped me with the vacuum hoses. Thanks for you Video

I just acquired a 88 GT and had to replace a number of things in the engine compartment: motor mounts, oil pan, valve cover gaskets, etc… After removing the intake manifold to do top end work I couldn’t remember where everything went so I’ll echo the lot on here: THANK YOU!!!

After removing my intake and replacing it and misplacing a number of parts in my house move I struggled to get my vacuum back together, this has highlighted a few connections that I missed which no one could tell me about!!! Thank you for making this video it’s helped me so so much!!!

6years ago this man made this video. An still very helpful. Thank you.

I want to say thank you. Thank you for going literally connection point to connection point. I've saved your video so while I'm out redoing my vacuum system from scratch, I'll get it correct. The pictures I took beforehand and the diagrams illustrated in the manual and in the decals don't cut it. Thank you!

@ShoestringRacer, you sir, are the smartest man alive!! thank you so very much for this informative video post!!

You just made my life way easier thank you so much!

bro thank you so much i was getting so confused with my hoses you helped me get mine installed

I used the side vacuum port to feed the brake booster and deleted the cheesy plastic vacuum tree and used the brass tree to run the FPR and MAP sensor for Megasquirt, and used a single barb for the PCV. I used hardened rubber hose for the PCV valve so it doesn't collapse. Of course I got rid of the charcoal can, smog pump and EGR like any gas-loving Foxbody guy. Standalone ECUs can't run them anyway. I personally used the threaded inserts to plug the EGR water jacket cooler toward the rear of the manifold(the one that runs to the throttle body spacer) as I had no use for hot coolant near my throttle body without hot EGR gases in it. I am running the Track Heat intake. I pretty much just hooked them up wherever I could run the shortest line. I don't currently have my blend door hooked up so I'm on defroster only, but I don't really drive the car below 35 degrees, so defroster only is enough heat on a chilly morning. Was even able to drive on warm winter days like this, in Massachusetts of all places. Basically I am another Foxbody HCI hackjob lol but I like less hose, less clutter and opportunity to lose/crack a hose. Nice to know where the stock locations are if I ever want to sell it though.

Thanks I am working in my 88 mustang and you answer my questions about the intake vacuum hoses

Put my fuel pressure regulator on and found a black vacuum line that got broke off now I know where it goes. THANK YOU!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great info. Helps a lot of us out. 👍

Thnx for taking the time to show what so many people leave out!!

Lets fucking go! Good shit bro. I’ve been looking for a video like this forever. I had a vaccum hose disconnected and I could no locate where to plug it in. I could literally feel my rough idle

The stud with two nuts goes on the rear passenger side. The stud secure the upper to lower manifolds. The first nut on the stud secure the two manifolds. The second nut on the same stud lockdown a bracket. The bracket is about five inches in length. The other end of the bracket attached the back of the engine block. Look for a vertical stud facing straight up; this where the bracket attaches to the block. This bracket 45 degree in angle. The stud on the block is also where the ground cable attaches to the engine block to the body.

WOW - thank you so much for posting this - I bought my engine already taken out of a car and it's going into a custom application so without having taken it apart myself i had no idea where these lines were supposed to go!

I believe those 2 threaded plugs are for the heads to block the holes for the smog lines.

Great video! I appreciate you taking the time to make a post it!

Very thorough! Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

Thanks for the explanation. I had forgotten what all the vacuum lines went to.

Huge help! I was starting this project, you saved me a lot of time

Just seeing this but I truly appreciate this detailed video!!!

Great video man, there are so many intake variations for these cars and these hoses always pose a problem as to where they go plus Ford came up with so many different intakes besides the aftermarkets and the combinations can make your head spin,Ive tried in the last 28 years just about every intake on these cars and these hose locations always trip you up,lol,the 93 Cobra intake actually used a "T" on the PCV valve which i think works great for oil control but thats a story for another day.

Great video. I just bought an 88 that was not done correctly. This video helps to visualize how it needs to go. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. First time putting the top end together on a fox or any car for that matter since I bought my fox without the top intake manifold on. I'm such an amateur haha!

Omg what a great video! Exactly what I was looking for! Having vacuum issues and fuel smell issues due to the fact my charcoal canister is not connected to intake. Didnt know where where they all went. Now I can check all of it. Plus missing that vacuum tree on passenger side. I have same intake with a bunch of other mods. Maybe this will help with my throttle issue or idle issue. Think my tps is bad too. Thank you for this great in depth info. Sometimes it's the small stuff that causes big problems...

What a great video. This is what I needed. Thanks

i must say you do explain quite thoroughly

Awesome information, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video.. helped so much

You just saved my life.

thanks for the vid bud.....appreciate it !

Great vid thinking about buying this kit for my 89 fox body Gt

Great video. Thanks. I’ve got a 95 F1 50 with a 5.0. Was wondering what you think about adding a trick flow lower intake manifold? Would I have to make a lot of other modifications to make it worth it? I’m going to be doing some pulling And hoping to find some less expensive ways to get some more power. And maybe have a little fun too.

great video

Great Video 👍👍👍!!!

Thanks for this video

I like how you explain how to connect vacuum line details by detail I wish some one could show me how to connect same for Typhoon intake manifold

good video man. Did you ever figure out where the 2 threaded inserts went? I believe they're for the back of the heads if you get rid of the smog lines.

Dude, thanks!

I just bought the exact same kit. You had issues since you completed installation?

thank-you so much

Great Video what if you ain't running a egr just cap the white one off! It's probably to hold ur water pipe the stud with the nut on top it might be when you run the metal water pipe down the intake to hold it!

thanks

This guy's voice sounds like he's looking for some Liver and Fava Beans.

Please, please....please do a complete engine rebuild vid

what about the drilling the oil fill kit? what size did u drill it?

I think those little threaded plugs might go to the vacuum lines instead of plugging them off with a rubber hose what ever vacuum line that u aren't using on the bottom of the in Un screw the fitting then just plug it off! That is what I am thinking!

Thank you is all I can say😅

The bolt with the nut is for the heater lines.

I u don't use the charcoal canister so what do u just cap it off?? What if u ain't using a egr valve either just cap it off or does the egr vacuum line have any to with the heater controls or dose that come from vacuum tree!! I ain't running a EGR valve or the canister!! What about that BAP sensor or Map sensor sits next to vacuum tree it has a vacuum plug on it I forget if it gets a vacuum line or not if ur car is MAF I think take the vacuum line off on a MAF car can't remember!!

He forgot the vacuum hose that goes to the map sensor

hose is cheap, do it right !

Nice video.... i think the bolt with the nut is for thr coil pack bolt in front on the left side of the intake. The spacer if for the room the coil pack would fHave took up so you don't thread it in to far.. thats my guess but again sweet vid help alot

Thanks BIG TIME!.. All it takes is for some idiot to work on your car and screw everything up and you dont know what spot to start at..

Thanks for this video
