Re: Intake test results are here
I can say it would not be difficult job for an experienced fabricator to do. The problem is packaging all the other bits (IAC, EGR, coil or swap to COP (cam cover issues may arise), etc...) in the available real estate away from heat and moving parts. This adds costs and complexity. Best bet may be the twin port Taurus intake...

The hood will close on the Contour, not sure about the Cougar. Some of the earliest 3L Contours used the Taurus aluminum split port intake with no problem. Take a look at Stazi's old car....  The IACV has been relocated. I would try removing the hood blanket first... it may fit.

Re: Intake test results are here
Make a new tube is the other option...

Re: Intake test results are here
Well then, i've never even seen the twin port taurus intake before... i actually like it alot better then the svt manifold in looks anyways.
Any chance it could get dyno'd soon ?

Re: Intake test results are here
Well..i'm putting true duals on the tour tomorrow,i'm debating on whether or not to tackle the 3L manifold tomorrow too. Or leaving it how it is,dyno'ing for a baseline of sorts. Than putting the 3L on and dyno'ing again later.

Re: Intake test results are here
Based on my experience the IAC's just barely fit under the hood with the 3L intake. It may vary from car to car though. It think after some reving the IAC tilts up and scratches the hood a bit. You can grind down the mounting surface on the intake or the IAC if you are worried about it. Just make sure you get a good seal when all is finished.

Re: Intake test results are here
You can relocate the IAC if need be and plug the factory ports. Then tap for air before the throttle and run the other line into a new hole in the plenum that will need to be drilled and tapped. I have done this and no real issues other than it idles a bit higher (could be that I'm still not tuned 100%). Just make sure the hose and fittings are a decent size, I have 5/8" fittings. The hose needs to be pretty stiff to prevent collapsing under vacuum.
