Default 5.0 intake question
I am getting a 5.0 intake manifold and TB off of an explorer. Will this bolt right up to the one on my 88 5.0?

you will have to modify it so the EGR system will work. Technically, this is not a smog legal swap

What size is the TB on the explorer (JW?)

The manifold should bolt up.....

the intake should bolt right up but you will need to use the factory egr plate unless your planning on deleting it. i believe the throttle body is 65mm on the explorer

They are a 65mm T Body. You need to modify the TPS to use it on a Mustang though.

So basically you would be better off just getting the manifold and getting a new TB and EGR, etc.
