This is directly from On3
"DETAILS FOR INSTALLING ON 96-8 CARS:
- The kit has not been tested on these cars and there are a few changed compared to the 99+ Cobra.
- Coil Pack Location
- Radiator Cross-over to thermostat tube
- Intercooler pipe going into the throttle body
Here is the deal, the next choice going turbo on your car is $6,000+ and this will still allow you to keep on budget. Most people will make a simple “L” bracket and move the coils to the firewall. Very simple to do and really doesn’t require any special tools besides for maybe a bench vice. We are not 100% sure yet on the lower coolant tube fitment but would just recommend to pick up one of the flexible radiator pipes. They can be had for around $40 and solve any issues with this. This is the same thing we run on the 99 Cobra as well to give more clearance and route easier. Last known issue is the angle going into the throttle body. The 96-8 come out pointing forward slightly compared to the 99+ intakes. You should be able to get it close just cutting the elbow off currently that goes to the throttle body and the couplers should allow for enough movement. If not it would just be a simple fix and maybe ˝ shop hour to get that correct. Estimate around $100 to accomplish these mods and still will put you in well below the comparable $6,000+ dollar kits on the market. On top of that, its very minimal work and shouldn’t be more than a couple hours of work."

There is no post above mine that says you have to modify the heads.
When Uber said "b head" he was referring to the version of heads on his car
96/98 4V are "B Heads" 99/04 are "C heads"
He was letting the op know that the On3 kit was made for the C head or 99/04 4V and that it is not a bolt on kit and that is why I quoted the info from the On3 site that tells exactly what needs to be done to make the kit work on older 4V's

I meant Cobra 96-98 4V
I believe Uberstang is talking about the B heads mods not C heads and may have to do with removing the IMIRC if that the proper abbreviation
Im guessing with FI they need to be removed or modded

Lmao I was about to say whose tasting a foot, buy yes when I said B head I was referring to 96-98 cobras compared to the 99/01 cobras. Its all good eyes can play tricks, once you get a post count up you should see your edit option appear I beleive.
