Are your gaskets still ok? You might want to get a new when you change to the new plenum.

i would say plenum is okay, but it all depends on the price that you are getting. If it is more than $200, I would say why not go with the MD spacer?

I like the look of the crawfordz plenum in black. I can get it for $250. please give me any input because I don't want to buy it you anyone thinks it will be a bad idea. I originally thought it would be a good idea.

the loom clamps and the two nuts for the loom clamps, you can do without, but the 4 short bolts IMO are necessary for proper install (they are used inside the plenum, not sure how easy it will be to find new ones)

check the install guide and you'll see what you need em for

Well, you already know my standpoint

I'll never buy used parts - when I had my old mustang, my friends would also try to save a few hundred $$$ buy buying used pulleys and gears....95% of the time their ideas blew up in their face a few months later. I've seen just how 'good' used parts are, but that's just me.
