Another topic beaten to death-fox throttle body conversion

[pleasehelp]

I did a search and didn't help. If you do a fox throttle body conversion, can you still have cruise control or no? Can you use a 94-95 style intake or does it have to be a fox style one? Is a fox TB, bracket and cable all that's needed for the swap? Thanks.

Do a search on corral. There's a lot of good info over there. I have a few threads bookmarked but I'm at school right now. I'll see if I can find them when I get back home. You cannot use your stock intake if you want to convert to a fox style TB. Your best bet would to get an aftermarket intake because it would be a waste to get a stock fox upper and lower just to convert to a fox style TB. People say that you could hook up the cruise, but I haven't seen it done yet.

Thanks. Ok, I should've asked if I can convert the TB setup if I get that TFS kit. If I wanted to convert do I have to order that kit for pre 93 5.0? Or does it not matter?

That should give you plenty of reading.

Parts needed for the swap

Any 87-93 style upper intake
Any size fox style TB
Fox Throttle cable
Fox Throttle cable bracket
EGR spacer or Delete plate
Fox TPS and IAC with donor car harness ends (pigtail connectors)
Any old nuts and bolts you can scam off the donor car (TB bolts mainly)
Some sort of a cold air or air tube setup.

I did this on a SC car and just used a piece of 3in muffler pipe. Not hard at all, but there is a bit of controversy over whether or not this is beneficial on a N/A car. Again I'm not N/A, so I wasn't concerned about it. Good luck. FWIW I picked up 2#'s of boost from this swap alone. So there is some power to be had.
