A 70mm gasket will come with the 70mm TB if bought new. If you're buying it used, 70mm gaskets can be bought from Summit, Jegs, etc.

I'll go ahead and say it, anyone who tells you that you can't port match an Explorer intake to match a 70mm TB needs to be chased out of here with a stick.
 
There is a guy on SBFtech that did just that, but it was an EGR intake that he cut and welded (Explorer). It was kind of comical, but pure awesome at the same time.
yea i was thinking id have to epoxy or JB weld the bottom of the neck to do a 90mm on it but i dont see why it wouldnt fit with some work
