Default Transverse engine swapout

Hello, newbie here... I recently bought a 3.7 Cylone engine from a 2017 Explorer with the intent to drop it into a 1976 Capri. What I failed to notice was that it is set up for a transverse mount. This means that the air inlet and radiator connections that were on the side, are at the back of the engine for a rear drive configuration.

Does anybody know if a Mustang intake manifold swap would remedy this? In other words, are the blocks identical so that it would bolt right in? Is there anything else to consider?
