is a crown vic ok yo use, it faces the other way under the hood, so is the t.b link 180 off in the wrong direction? and is a non ho one going to be bigger on a 87- whatever 5.0?
what to look for at the boneyard addermk2? there wont be any mustangs with 5.0s and unlikely any explorers, lota vans and big ford cars maybe a v8 tird, some 4.6 stuff too

do you know the size of one on a 86? yeah i saw the ones on crown vics and they are pretty small and backwards anyways, is a 87 really bigger than a 86? is the explorer the same as a 93 cobras or a 94-95 cobra? no v8 explorers at the bone yard as i figured

I had one from the 87 Crown Vic I got my build-up block from it was only 55 mm I belive thru it away along with the smaller bore intake. I just mesured the stock one from my 87 5.0 HO it mesured 59.9mm so 60mm. The one on my car now is from an Explorer I didn't mesure it but it matches bore size with my BBK 70mm EGR spacer. The Explorer TB I had to swap out the linkage arm witht the factory one from my 60mm so it would work correctly.
