If your motor is just stock you can try to find one from a 99 F150. The one and only year they made them in aluminum.

If you are looking for high performance ones Edelbrock makes them, I think, but I have read they will run like crap on a stock engine.

Edit: Well I just tried to find the Edelbrock intake and I can't. HPS (HiPerformance Solutions) makes one for the 5.4 2V. I don't know too much about them. Down the road I too would like to switch to an aluminum intake but there seems to be really nothing available.

i want something stock..that i can possibly port and polish then put it on the truck..do the 99 intakes flow better than the plastic ones

not unless you port them

but as stated above the '99 is the only year of the metal PI intakes for the 2 valve 5.4

My 98 has an aluminum intake manifold, does that mean it has a PI-99 engine in it? or did the NPI 98s come with aluminum maniflolds too.

nope, you've got a NPI with a metal intake manifold
