Hi Matt, I tried numerous solutions, which all failed for one reason or another. In the end I cut up the standard manifold and used some 3 x 4 inch aluminum box section and a couple of bits of plate to make my own manifold. It is "glued" together with chemical metal. The throttle body has been located at the back so I don't get problems with clearing the thermostat housing. I cut all the threaded bosses off the original manifold and then glued them to my new manifold with more chemical metal. It looks a bit crappy but works perfectly, I guess you could add some bits of square alli to make it look a bit more factory made but I don't mind too much what my engine looks like as long as it goes well. The Galaxy manifold was no good, I never found a scorpio one so can't comment if that would have worked or not. For full details of my solution please check out my web site. If you want to chat about it or coma and have a look drop me a pm.
Dave.
