Does anyone know whether or not I could use 2012 5.0 Mustang exhaust manifolds (look like headers) on the ‘99:Explorer to ‘96 Ranger conversion I am doing?

The exhaust flanges are up high near the end of the head.

I poop in the furnace.
What he said. 2012 is a DOHC coyote motor. It has zero in common with the old pushrod 5.0. Those headers wont even bolt onto the 99' engine.

Ok thanks a lot! I am not too up on the gas engines because I have been driving the Powerstroke.
I am putting the little Ranger together for traffic and in city driving.

Y’all saved me a few bucks but they really looked good in the pics!
