FYI...
But...the supercharged engines have a cast aluminum bracket that hold on the a belt pulley...it fatigues and breaks, but is generally good for around 100,000, kinda like that plastic plenum (I have changed mine, it's a good idea to yank the lower part of the intake also, when doing this, clean the gunk out of it). I still wouldn't own a ford...
