Are there any numbers or words on the stock 5.0 throttle body from an 88 5.0? I am going through the intake stuff, and adding a Cobra intake.. My throttle body has a "5.0 sho" imprint on the inside area. And what throttle body is good for cobra intake/stock engine? Will stock TB & spacer work ok?

The stock TB is 60 MM. The 95-01 V8 Explorer had a 65 MM unit that will fit with a few modifications. You will need a new TB spacer to match the TB to the upper manifold. Putting a bigger TB and then restricting the flow by using the stock spacer defeats the purpose of having a larger TB.

See http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine/ConvertingExplorer65mmTB.pdf for the how to do it.
