is there an aftermarket air intake that i can use for my 1987 town car with a 5.0l 302?
thanks.

Anything off of a 5.0 Mustang will work.

that's what i was thinking.
but the earliest aftermarket mustang air intake i can find is for 89-93 models.
would that fit on my 87 town car?
the 89-93 is for the 5.0... so i assume it's the same set up.
here's a picture of the 89-93 mustang 5.0 cold air intake.

You're really just pissing your money in the wind. The intake setup is backwards (the throttle body is on the driver side on the TC and on the passengerside on the Mustang) and we have the 5.0 NON-HO. The Mustangs came w/ the 5.0 HO - and they are MAF, we have MAP. (MAP doesn't take into account any add-ons you've done)
Get a map to maf conversion kit/how-to and start w/ that before you get a Intake Kit.

I put a cold air intake like that in my 89 TC, biggest waste of money EVER. The filter was impossible to keep clean and it was noisy as a ba$tard. I put the stock box with a paper filter back in and noticed a GAIN lol
