from what i understand the explorer has a 65mm on it correct? will it fit directly on the intake with a spacer or does it have to be on that elbow? im looking at getting a complete 5.0 out of a 96 explorer and wondering if i can use more than the gt40 heads and intake?

I found this a while back on a thread it was helpfull.
The Explorers and Mountaineers came with a 65MM Throttle body. This will require a little work, but not much (not enought to justify spending 150+on a BBK one!)
The linkage arm on the explorer is too short to work with the mustang cable, so, if you have no use for your stock throttle body...Carefully remove the likage arm from the mustang unit and remove the explorer arm. The mustang arm should fit in the same hole. I took a drill and drilled (not too deep) a pilot hole in the ceter pivot pin (where the lever connects)for a 1/4-20 tap. I Tapped it and installed a short bolt (1/2" long) with a lock washer and a flat washer to secure the new arm. I will add some how to pics later.
