Here is my idea. Instead of switching over to a fox setup, im gonna try and drill out new holes in the explorer tb so it will fit up where ours is located. A fox tb, or explorer one has the same bolt pattern as the intake holes, not the same as ours, which is why we just cant take the 94-95 tb's and put em up to the intake. I allready cut and rewelded the throttle arm, so i think this wont be a problem. If i can get this to work ill post up some pics of what i did. I figure it has to be a good mod if it works, i got the TB with my motor, and its MUCH bigger than our stock ones its a 65mm., plu sit came with a new TPS and IAC wich have half the miles mine do! Ive been welding up everythibg recently, lol i made my pro-50 shorty shifter stick back an inch more, and im in the process of getting my strut tower brace to fit again with my new huge intake.
