Default Larger Than Stock Throttle Bodies?

Do they make throttle bodies for the 2.3 larger than stock? or can you take one from a GT? I have heard of halfshafter but I figure just go the whole nine yards lol.

Thanks in advance for the help

Yes can use larger from a 5.0. On a na engine read don't do much good. I put one on my 2.3 turbo. Seem to made a differance. Picture of mine. Ps the hose into is now gone it keep blowing off. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...5/100_5529.jpg

no its not from a 5.0 its from a 94-96 mustang v6, you will need an adapter plate for it though not worth the trouble either.

the adapter plate is a pain in the butt to make and expensive to buy one thats already made not worth the like 8-15 horses you get from it.

Well this is a slow process, I know it isn't worth it now, but down the line it would be nice to have and I figure I gotta start somewhere.

Look at my pictures carefully. No adapter plate. mgman75 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Just open up the upper intake. Redrill the larger throttle body. Make adapter for throttle cable and tps. Will try to find site for kit. It is pricey.
