98 F-150 5.4 L 2 valve, intake gaskets installation.

Does anyone know how to sit the intake straight down, scooting the intake into place will damage gasket. It sits under firewall about 1/3.

@cbxer55 i know you have intake experience on the 5.4L. Any tips to help get that intake to drop straight down for my pops?
@adsm08 ? @19Walt93 ?

The uppet and lower intakes are aluminum, probably weighs mor than the plastic.

It can be done, it's just tricky.

You have to set the gasket in, then hold the intake as high as you can while you move it under the cowl. I usually hold them by the fuel rails.

				It can be done, it's just tricky. You have to set the gasket in, then hold the intake as high as you can while you move it under the cowl. I usually hold them by the fuel rails. When I think I'm over and set the intake down only to discover I like about a half inch off, will I be able to pick it up and move it the rest of the way. Last year when I replaced the lower manifold, I had to move it , I knew I wasn't supposed to, I put about 1200 miles on it, it just started skipping while I was driving.

Yeah, you just can't slide it. You have to pick it up and move it.

Thanks, I probably should have gotten 2 sets.
