Hi Angelina...welcome to the forum. Hope we can help!
When you said you have a 5.0 conversion, not sure if you mean you have a late model 5.0 carburated motor or the full transplant 5.0 with fuel injection.
If you have a carburated 5.0, then you can use any of the standard Export braces from any of the Mustang suppliers. However if you are running an EFI upper intake, you probably already know the regular export braces will not clear.
I had this Laurel Mountain unit, and found that the cross bar, or Monte Carlo bar, went directly over the top of my distributor and I couldn't remove the distributor or wires.
I ended up custom building one (see my webpage below...down the left side) or you can order one like it from the sources listed at the bottom.
Does your brace barely clear the upper manifold on the left side or is there more space than it appears? I believe the Explorer intake I'm using is 1" to 2" taller than the Mustang, in which case, I would have a problem with any of the aftermarket ones listed on your website. I'm thinking that I may have to make one after all, perhaps cutting the ends off the one-piece cowl I just removed and welding something up. Grrr!
