Maybe a 65mm tb that is from a mustang would be an option, search the forums the mustang tb has been talked about

Mustang ones don't fit... basically those are your two only options. The only other option would be to get your stock one bored up to about 57-58mm... which probably wouldn't be expensive at all, maybe 50 bucks or so.

Someone bought one off of EBay and it didn't fit... however there are plenty of different Mustang TBs... I don't know if Random said which one fit. We do know that the 87-93 3.8L doesn't work. Least I think those were the years/engine size, don't exactly remember.

from what i read the 4.6l might fit but you have to rape out the holes, I am trying to find a junk yard around me that has one so I can try for myself, but its just an idea. See if it works if you don't want to spend $350 for a tb

The mustang TB's are 65mm, too large for a n/a tib.

We don't know that for SURE. I'm willing to try a 65mm for N/A. Specially with my airram, should be going on this month.

As for the mustang ones and what BBTB's will fit, we have a listing working up in the sticky located here.

Look around a bit man, there's always something related to what you are looking for.

The GTR BBTB's should be on soon at www.kspec.com .

the 4.6L mustang TB's are the ones that are supposed to fit with some modification if you would have read a little more. There was one on ebay last week that went for like 26 dollars + 7.XX for shipping.
