Flipped truck manifolds for a front mount.
So far I have mocked them up and the drivers side is just fine, but the passenger side has some clearance issues I need to take care of.

Thanks!
I am hoping this thing is fun. Wanting to hit up a few autox events before the snow hits. My Mustangs were to bloated to do much and I had spent so much time and money on them I was to scared of damage to have any fun. This thing is going to be a road warrior, it shall fear no door dings, lol.

Thanks. This car is honestly fairly easy to work on. Work keeps me from making to quick of progress, but it will be done before winter hopefully.
I purchased some sheet metal then measured, cut, formed, and mounted it to the location where the old oil cooler mounted. Took all of 20 minutes.

Dropped it off for exhaust yesterday. They had some trouble finding flanges. I was able to source some today so the car should be good to go Monday.
Car was a blast to drive over there though. Never went past maybe 10% throttle due to how loud it was but it felt strong. T56 is quite an upgrade from the T5's I have been used to in the Mustang world. Shifts nicely and the car is super easy to drive.
