[V8] PT vs. ABH intake

[Coleman, David]

Mine's a '91 5-speed with an ABH motor.  I kept the 3.6 headers and ECU,
and am asking if it makes sense to swap over the IM from the original PT
motor.  If the 4.2 TB can/should be adapted to the 3.6 IM, then,
assuming the runners are the same bore, it sounds like I'm with Ron in
that the swap-over would be worthwhile.  

At this point, I want to keep the cam timing at the factory setting.
When I upgrade the cams and reinstall the chip (which I removed), maybe
then I'll diddle with that.
