1. The 5.0 Explorers all had 67mm throttle bodies

2. A standard 5.0 mustang gasket will work fine

3. I'm not sure but I think so

yes just standard head gaskets will work.

And just go and buy a standard 5.0 intake gasket set. That will come with the intake gaskets your are talking about, use lots and lots and lots of gasket sealer on them.

need a explorer or cobra intake gasket set since the upper and lower gaskets are a different design
