3.5 intake manifold onto 3.2?

Hi there,

All the threads for "intake manifold upgrade" lead to the 3.7 intake, but I think that there is such a thing as "too big, too much" for the 3.2 that I have.

Can anyone provide a thread or info on using the 3.5 Type S IM for the 3.2?

Thanks!

Honestly its not worth the money if you go from a stock 3.2 mani to a stock 3.5 mani. 3.7 mani or port your 3.2 mani for the best results. Also, whats your goal here? Are you looking for big gains or best gains for your buck?

I don't want the downtime of porting the 3.2 (I would port it myself).

I am really looking for best bang for buck.

Plus the 3.7 sounds like it has some driveability issues (might only be the M/Ts, but I haven't read anything yet where the A/Ts are completely out of the blue).
