Do 1990-1996 4.0's have a different lower intake than 97-01? Or are they the same? This is concerning OHV engines only.
The reason I am asking is because I have been using Felpro MS94682 for lower intake jobs. They work fine. But RockAuto had Felpro MS90728 on clearance and listed as an "improved design" and allegedly compatible with 1990-2000 Explorers with OHV 4.0s.
However once I got the part, it says right on the box that it only fits 1997-2001 OHV 4.0s. I got ahold of them and they sent out another MS90728 that also only fits 97-01.
Is this a misprint on the box? Do they really fit? Or not? They look similar but I don't want to waste my time - AutoZone and others selling that part seem to say that they indeed only fit 97-01.
