This will be a few parts, as I make a little progress. I already have a converted explorer TB on my car but it's a later version with the enlarged TPS sensor mount.
So anyway, here we are.
Explorer on left, stock mustang on right. You can see the difference in the throttle linkage.
TPS sensor is 100% exchangeable
This particular TB came off an early 5.0 explorer...probably one with the internal EGR. Part number F67U-BA. The later TBs feature a taller TPS mount, and lack the TB vent tube.
Idea here is to swap the shafts, flip the TB vent, and call it a day.
So we disassemble both
Blade size comparison
With the mustang shaft in the explorer body , you can see the area that will interfere with the larger 65mm blade
That's it for now. Time to clean the parts, trim the blade shaft a bit, and paint.
