Cobra manifolds will work on the Lincoln heads - they're essentially the same heads.

The OP did not include the year of the car or motor. Only the year of the cobra intake was included. Doesn't it matter?

He states it's 96 Cobra manifolds. I guess since he used the plural, I was assuming he meant exhaust manifolds but I also assumed the Lincoln 4V was a Mark VIII motor - if that's the case, then everything is fine as all the Mark VIII Intechs are B heads like the 96-98 Cobras. If he means the intake manifold then the year does matter as it was recently pointed out to me that rear entry Lincoln intakes won't clear a Mustang firewall (and the Cobra intakes are better anyway)

If the Lincoln motor is not a Mark VIII then we need to know what it is because a transverse FWD Continental motor is going to have all sorts of problems and you should probably just stop now, or if it's a Navigator motor it is going to need 99+ Cobra exhaust manifolds and either a custom intake manifold setup, modified Australian Boss 290 intake or a 99+ Cobra intake with adapter plates.
