1997 GT, 4.6 5 speed, 77,000 miles, what problems should I be looking for? Is there an issue with the crank pulley?

Bought a 96 last year with 80k. Needed radiator, Just blew heater core. Changer the motor mounts Sunday. That was no fun.

The only thing I'd be concerned w/ is the plastic coolant crossover. I'd say find an aftermarket intake manifold w/ an Aluminum crossover. Or it may be a good time to do the PI swap.

We had the aluminum intake and my son over tightened the ect and broke it. So we did th PI swap and it made A BIG DIFFERENCE.
