Hey has anyone put a gt40 intake on with the throttle body facing the drivers side and managed to connect the throttle linkage and the other bracket somewhere? It looks to me like I will have to fab a bracket up. I'm almost done with my project: GT 40 heads, HO cam, 1.6 roller rockers, 65mm Explorer TB, 65 mm mass air meter, 3.73 gears. What kind of a quarter mile/eighth mile time should i be able to get with this in a Town Car?

As for the egr spacer, you can use one for a lighting (have fun finding one) or fab up your own mounting system. I, who have no fabricating skill, made one from an aftermarket 65mm mustang spacer one night when I was bored.2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4
2005 Grand Marquis GS - Marauder sway bars, Marauder exhaust, KYB's
2003 Marauder - Trilogy # 8, JLT, kooks, 2.5" exhaust, 4.10's/31 spline, widened rear's, metco's, addco's, ridetech's 415hp/381tq

Yes it's possible. You'd need an EGR spacer from a 351W lightning (Lightning F-150) the stock throttle linkage bracket will bolt right to it. As mentioned earlier you'd need to grind the throttle linkages off both throttle bodies, and swap the one from the stock tb to the 65.
Since you fabbed up a bracket you just saved yourself a shitload of money.
