Explorer throttle body...what to do to make it work on a 5.0?

[Highbredcloud]

Hey guys...I have an Explorer 65mm throttle body...I want to put that on my Mustang and I have to change the throttle linkage supposedly...is that the metal part where the cable clips on to? If so can I use my stock throttle linkage on the Explorer throttle body? BTW: is the TPS still the same or do I have to use one that is for a Mustang? If this is not what I think it is can somebody tell me what I can do to use it? thanks

Send a pm to tmoss and jrichker - they can coach you through it; and I think they each use a slightly different method - so you'll have options.

I have a how-to for a 97+ Explorer TB at: www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine

If you have a 96 Explorer TB, the throttle crank is the only thing you need to move over from your stock TB. You can tech screww or tack weld the stock crank onto the Explorer crank. Be sure to note the position of the crank on the old TB so you can install it at the sme angle on the Explorer TB.
