Default dumb question

ok, stock 5.0 TB is 60mm right?

are factory manifolds capable of fitting a 70mm TB or do I need to port the intake?

factory MAF is a 73mm unit right?

thanks

You could use a 70mm EGR spacer witht he 70mm TB but your still going into a 60mm opening. I did port match my factory intake to my BBK EGR spacer took a lot of patience and a few dremel stones to do it.

Here is the finished intake next to a un-touched factory intake.


And here it is next to the Explorer GT40 intake.
