Default Will a 65mm explorer tb work?

I found a guy selling a 65mm tb of a 5.0 explorer on craigslist for $40. I was wondering if it would work easily or if it will need a lot of modifications. If it will work relatively easily I'll pick it up.

Not sure it will fit without some work. I'm pretty sure there will be a vacuum line problem. I know stock on a mustang is 60mm. I have a 70mm on mine. I'm actually looking at the TB on Craig's right now. I can't tell from just looking at it though

A bigger TB will do nothing unless the Intakes are ported to match. It would be a waist of money.

Yes I've been around long enough to know this.
