I miraculously found someone on Marketplace parting out a totaled Bullitt that was willing to part with the throttle cable. I tried getting some of the other manifold specific items like the coolant tube that runs under and some brackets. However they were addiment about keeping those together. Oh well they got me to heavily overpay($140) for a damn cable yet here we are. Honestly considering taking it to a local shop and seeing if they can replicate it and start selling them.
Anyway, i messed with the cable a bit and it works which is great, one less thing to worry about. I did take some comparison photos on the three throttle cables I have for future reference. 1999 GT on top, 1997 Cobra in the middle and Bullitt on the bottom. It is worth nothing that the 97 cable would have be able to get to work with the pedal mod.
Mocked up the vacuum lines, and it hate them. it clutters things up especially since they aren't routed like they were meant to be so they look out of place. Then there is the DPFE sensor and vacuum solenoid that I need to remount. The bracket for the regular 2v manifold doesn't really work on the Bullitt because they had a specific bracket. Not a huge deal, worst case ill make up a bracket that works. I have an idea of how to mount it pictured below. I'll see what I can do about these issues later, open to ideas!
On the plus side, i was worried about the alternator hitting the P1SC pulley. I now have even more room than I did before so that's a relief!
This picture helped! this is exactly how my GT was set up before so I'll leave it just how it was. Oddly enough I learned that some GT's had "heated PCV" systems?! Only reason I now know this is because I was trying to figure out what the hell these two connections where for in the Bullitt manifold. One right next to the coolant temp sensor and the other back by the plenum. After some digging it turns outs some of these bullitts and other 4.6L's came with a heated pcv setup, pictured here. Im probably just going to plug the one by the coolant temp sensor with another temp sensor and just leave it unplugged. The one by the plenum I imagine i can just put vacuum caps on?

Is the coolant hose from the manifold to the heater core the same as the gt? Leave it as is. However your original lines were routed keep it the same. I don’t think switching the routing will do anything but keep it the way it was and keep the restrictor.
This may or may not help, but it's a picture of my stock '02 setup.
