Been collecting parts for this swap for awhile. My question is, I have read there is a clearance problem with the #6 intake runner with the APN header. Is there a header that will bolt right up when you do a 99 intake swap? Clearancing a little bit is no big problem. I would rather just have a bolt in installation.

Thanks

I have the APN/99+ combo on my MJ and i had to clearance the hell out of both components. If i had to do it again i would try to find a different header that fit better but i think that the price differencce between the APN and the edelbrock is huge.

Some have clearance issues, some don't. It's nothing an angle grinder and few minutes of you time won't cure. I have installed 2 APN so far.

I spent more time on the sensor wiring, vacuum lines, and fuel line bracket than on clearancing the manifolds.

I did use the vaccuum tube from a 99.

I did this swap with a 99 and up intake and a ANP and DID NOT have to clearance anything on my 96 but word to the wise do NOT use the gasket provided with the header.
