I am in a desperate effort to find a lower intake manifold part 2L1Z-9424-BC which is discontinued. The plastic part is worn out, must be replaced and can't find a replacement. Ford made 3 engines and this one was manufactured in January 2003. What can we do?

I got the upper manifold number 1L3E-9424-BA, so is the lower intake manifold going to be 2L1Z-9424-BC? I ask because I am finding the uppers with the lower but they are in other vehicles with the 4.6L engine which is a Romeo. Does anyone know there is only one lower for that upper manifold????

 

Did you try any salvage yards?

 

Yes I have been searching everywhere. I even call ford directly not through a dealership and they couldn't help me either. I see something on eBay which is upper and lower, just need to verify my upper number matches theirs, cross your fingers/
