I have a 1995 Mercury cougar xr7. The engine went bad at 172k miles. I bought a 1998 SVT Cobra DOHC engine for it at a really good price...only problem is that we're having some problems getting it to fit. We had to have a flywheel machined for it from a 98' lincoln navigator. So now the engine bolts up to the trans and flexplate. I bought a compushift unit for the trans as the cobra wiring harness is for a manuel trans, so we basically made the trans a seperate unit from the engine. The latest and greatest problem we've run into is the driver's side manifold is in the way of the steering arm in the eng. compartment. My mechanic and I have been looking for a manifold that may clear. We've been told that a 93-95 mark VIII with the DOHC motor should clear. Just curious if anyone has other suggestions or have done a swap like this before??
Any insight would be amazing,
Thanks

The Mark VIII manifold should work.
Or headers if you've got the spare coin. http://supercoupeperformance.com/partBrowser.aspx?category=78
