Default stock TB, and other tech ques.

What size is my stock throttle body in my 86 GT? Going to intake and heads off an explorer will it require new injectors? What size? No major mods. Just ones listed. How about a new cam? Is this a good idea at the same time? Which cam?

thanks

Make sure you won't have valve clearance issues with those heads. 86's have flattop pistons with no valve reliefs and clearance is tight.

I am changing pistons when I rip apart the motor to fix this, thanks.

If you are that far into it, you might as well change cams also. 19lb injectors should still be fine.

What cam should I go with with those mods? And what size TB should I be looking for with the heads and intake off an explorer?
