I've decided to ditch the TC lines and F150 rail in favor of the stock/mustang style fuel lines and rail, after the swap is complete I will go from there. I really hate how the F150 rail puts the FPR under the upper intake....  I will also be running a different FPR with the new rail. I've ordered some new O2's so they will be going in soon also.

flip the upper around and use throttle body brackets off of a crown vic.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

why wouldn't it? from my understanding the fuel pressure regulator is just on the other side of the fuel rail. flipping the upper would be easy with no egr  in the way. then you just loop your throttle cable back around on the drivers side of the engine.

pull a couple spark plugs and see if there's gas on them.

car is back up and running again, I checked KOER codes and it gave me 44 and 94. the car seems to be running better at this point although I havent had a chance to actually drive it yet.
