5.0L Mustang throttlebodies

Post by bad62bug »

Sharkey just installed my single throttle body on my CB hideaway system, seems to run well nice and crisp. The throttle body I used was off a ford explorer, it has one vac line and one big port that runs from the inside of the inlet to the outside of the body,
I'll use it for the dump valve, haven?t run it with boost yet waiting for my transition hoses 2.75" to 2".
Should be in Thursday, I'll let you know how it runs.
The specs on the throttle body are, inlet 2.75" outlet 2.5" butterfly 2.5"
I'll post pics soon.

Please, please, PLEASE keep me informed! Sharkey blew out her clutch yesterday and I had to limp home about 8km using nothing other than 3rd gear. The engine's coming out and I might consider doing the single TB swap now instead of throwing my existing TBs & intake manifolds back on and performing the swap a couple of months from now.

Fabricating the center section shouldn't be too hard, but I am considering using DCNF manifolds and welding in injector bosses inboard much like my existing CB Performance DRLA manifolds. The DCNF manifolds (preferrably from a Type 3) are really squat and should allow me to run the intake tubing down low and under the alternator just like a stock set-up.

Sharkey,
I saw you are planing on using DCNF manifolds. I have a pair of type 1 manifolds I am not using if you need them. Contact me if you are interested.
Ken
