Ford throttle bodies on 3x00's

[ikessky]

Let me know if there is something I can do to help, Brad. Like I told you via PM, it would be nice to get this put together as a kit and sell it on the store.

I like the idea of a universal IAC adapter and different top adapters. I know a pretty good machine shop around my area that has always done great on price. I would like to have them get me a price quote when the designs are complete.

This sounds very interesting. would be easier than making whole new TBs as well.

[Froggx]

The earlier 5.0 engines came with smaller TB's stock, so there is larger demand for the 65mm and larger units, driving up the prices. Even still, I have seen 65mm and 70mm units going for ~$100, which is a decent price, IMO.

fyi, my 65mm TB was $10 shipped off ebay, so there are deals to be had.

[ikessky]

That's why I mainly asked the question. There are tons of 65mm Ford TB's on ebay for super cheap.

I haven't had a chance to mess with it anymore this week. Maybe this weekend I'll get around to doing something with it. And I'll try to get a "shop drawing" sheet developed with all the measurements and such.

Like I said Brad, let me know if you need anything from me. I have a spare 2001 3100 intake and TB sitting in my car as I type this.

RE: modding

The Ford TB's that we are talking about have a different IAC setup than the stock 3x00. Therefore, a remote mounted IAC is needed.

[darknatextreme]

i mean couldnt you mod one or something like this to get the remote mount without having to make it from scratch? drill the hole and tap 2 others for the iac to bolt onto or make it so a larger holder will bolt onto it?

The spacer would have to be at least 1.5" thick in order for it to work.

You will gain 15 horse power great low end torque
and increase fuel mileage by 1 to 2 miles per gallon.

Hmmm, maybe I should put one on... LOL

Well I finally have a Ford 5.0 65mm tb and the 3500 upper intake....My question, is what do I do now to get it all to fit? Otherwise I'll just drill into the tb, but I don't want it if I don't have to.....
