What’s fundamentally different between 94-95 throttle bodies and 93 and earlier?

Why did ford make the change? I know clearance was a problem but what keeps a 93 and earlier from working correctly with a 94-95?

I know that the bolt pattern on a 94-95 throttle body is different. Also, there is a difference in length of the two with the 94-95 a little larger.

also the throttle linkage hooks up differently between the two. The fox TB's connect to the cable on the bottom of the TB and the 94-95's connect on the sides. There are some people that convert the 94-95 cars to the fox style TB to get rid of the extra space of the elbow. I have no idea as to what is involved but perhaps someone with more knowledge on the subject can help you out with that one.

Do a search on "fox throttle body conversion" or something like that and you should find plenty of info on this topic.

Check this link...It may answer some questions....I did the Explorer with the elbow adapter....I drove it for a bit...swapped over to the 93 Fox TB set-up..I have since torn it down and swapping over to a 93 Cobra intake...

http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=390165&highlight=Explorer

Basically to run the Fox set-up...you need an intake, throttle cables and brackets off a Fox....then swap over the TPS/IAC sensors...
One guy on Corral managed to adapt his 95 FMS 65 TB to work....takes some fab work to make a new throttle cable bracket...

This post had pics, tons of em..I cant see em anymore??? Hopefully you can??
The new Stangnet I guess????
