Which is fine for the larger engine compartment of the  Mark VIII, but clearance becomes a issue in a mustang engine  compartment. I could of got a BFH and made it fit, but I didn't want to  have dents in my firewall. So, I went to pick n pull and a pulled a  intake off a 97 Mark VII they have a side mounted throttle body like the  Mach 1s. Here is the 95 manifold with the throttle body  mounted in the rear. With the 97 intake you need the 97 IMRC spacers.  Here you can see all the ports are oval on top. On the 97 intake they  are oval and square. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/20120923_183846_zpsfe1ec160.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The 97 manifold with the side mounted throttle body.<img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/20120922_185451_zps06028d9a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here are the 97 IMRC plates with oval/square ports. I'm gonna delete the throttle plates since I'm using the stock GT harness and computer. The computer does not have capability of controlling the IMRC plates. Some have wired it up to a window switch, but I figure it wont be too much of a loss down low. The 3.73s would make up for it somewhat. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/20120923_185814_zps116ddc0e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
