Wink New mustang project

Ok so recently I purchased a 1999 Mustang convertible GT that has a locked up engine in it the car itself has about 200,000 miles on it and I got it for $800 the interior in this car is immaculate tan leather and I knew I wanted to fix this car up so today I went out and purchased a 2000 Ford e-150 van will a 4.6 in it Anna 4r70w transmission also the van only has 54k original miles runs and drives like a top but the body of the van is rusted all to hell the van came from Michigan and I live in Florida so my plan originally what's to buy a Lincoln Mark 8 for 1500 but it had about a hundred seventy thousand miles on it so I opted for the better deal in the better route and purchased the van for 800 so all together now I have about $1,600 in between the van and the Mustang and I'm going to buy a new intake gasket set so when I swap the Mustang manifold over to the Vans ENGINE it works I will post pictures later and keep you all updated about the build and how it progresses

Okay so I've been doing a little bit of research and I found out that the EGR tube will not work from the mark 8 with the headers I want to use is there anywhere to buy an aftermarket EGR tube that would connect egr on the market manifold to the header for the COBRA 32-valve
