Default Throttle body with GT40P Intake Manifold

I was just wondering what throttle body I need to use for my 90 GT when I switch out my intake manifold with the GT40P upper and lower intake manifold. I got the parts off a 97 Explorer, and I'm cleaning them up; I also got the throttle body from the Explorer just in case I needed it. My current TB has a hole in it because the owner who had it before me NOS'd the car. Should I buy a new 70mm one, go with a used stock, or do I actually need to use the one from the Explorer? Which will fit? Thanks for any help or advice!

with a little fabbing it will hook right up. I had to tack the linkage arm from the stock TB on the explorer TB. Then I had to slot the holes in the TPS so it would bolt onto the explorer TB. I also had to grind a very small amount off the throttle shaft because it was too tall to properly use the TPS from the fox.

Really all in all it took me 30 minutes to fab it up and now it looks as completely factory.
