Mustang TB adapter

**shwine617** · 1-10-08, 17:10

I am going to be swapping over to the 65mm mustang tb. I am going to make the adapter plate myself, do you think this is a suitable peice of aluminum. The machine shop by me only carries 1/4" aluminum.

mine is alluminium too.
works perfect. looks great

**fredio54** · 1-11-08, 12:39

that is a nice price for a massive slab of ally like that :-)

**shwine617** · 1-12-08, 20:37

nice... I won the aluminum plate.
Now I need a mustang throttle body.
I am going to keep an eye on this one, because I think a 70mm will still fit on the stock intake with the adapter plate.

if i don't win it, i'll just get a stock 65mm one for 20-30 bucks.

man, i'll have to do that next time i need one, toyota and nissan v8 ones go for way too much at home, too much demand.

**shwine617** · 1-23-08, 20:16

today I cut out the basic shape of the TB adapter.
original plate

cut to basic shape

picked up a 70mm hole saw from home depot

how would you go about the electrical part?

**shwine617** · 1-24-08, 0:31

it has a similar 5 volt reference TPS, also has 3 wires. It will work fine with the SDS system I have. Should work with the stock ecu if wired right.

**shwine617** · 1-26-08, 16:21

Finished up the adapter plate today and it's a perfect fit. I just have to clean up the mustang TB,weld on the f2 wheel, get some gaskets, and port match the intake.
here's the finished pics...

**shwine617** · 1-26-08, 18:27

I not going to use the f2 throttle lever, I got the mustang one to work after a little grinding to the plasting on the arm.

**zlyricist** · 2-4-08, 14:37

schwine, do you have measurements for the cuts your made, or did you use another tb as a template? let me know

**shwine617** · 2-4-08, 15:29
