I bought the intake used and it didn’t come with bolts. That was the only bolt I could source quickly, but it will definitely be changed out for something more visually appealing eventually.
Yes, it did come from an SN. Why would only one of the four be drilled though?
Throttle body studs are ARP.

It's due to the way those SN throttle body adapters bend forward and down. It blocks the lower right-hand corner of the flange so that you can't feed a bolt through or get a nut on the stud from the front. You drill out the threads in the intake so that you can feed a bolt through from the back side of the flange. I believe that hole on the adapter is threaded.
Good luck with the fuel line fix. I'm anxious to hear the feedback on the intake swap.

Fuel rails are repaired. As another member here had done in the past, I took my fuel rails into a custom hose and fittings shop, and they hooked me up. It’s a simple bit of Parker brand rubber fuel line rated for high pressure, and some nifty clamps kinda like PEX for those that have done home improvement plumbing. They even cut and installed them for a whopping $3.80. I was in a hurry to get them back on the car and tested while my daughter was still asleep in the truck, so I only took a couple pics post installation.
This one is drivers rear corner.
And this is front passenger side.
Got it bolted down and primed the fuel system, and all is well again.

Engine is back together, and I threw on my Magnaflow exhaust tips. The idle surges like mad, so I didn’t make a video, but the car rips. My tuner really only needs to fix the idle and address the low rpm bucking as best he can, but I’m sure he will tweak the whole tune. I’m happy though, it pulls hard up high now, and finally does donuts!!!!!!
Driveway donut video to come.

Pffttt...you can’t freakin tell that’s its even a mustang, much less a maroon and silver fox body. for a minute, i thought you were posting pictures of a probe or somethin’.
Funny thing is, I always wanted to build a custom Ford Probe GT. Not sure why, but I always liked them.
