artinist Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 magna users, what throttle body r u using? I am thinking of finishing a custom MPI that we were working on and I want to know what throttlebody to use this time around. I have a mustang 5.0 on my current one and its working fine. I was wondering if any others out there make a better/easier fit. what are you guys using and where did you get the throttle body flange to weld to the intake? was it made from scratch?

heefner Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm using the ford T-body on my EIP intake and I'm pretty sure thats what most are using on the magna. It comes down to availabilty and honestly, there a dime a dozen even for aftermarket pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I use a 65mm AU ford TB. Glenn welded a thick plate to the magna and then tapped some threads for the TB. I have a few known working ford throttle cables posted in this forum too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 For the throtle cable, I took the linkage of the stock mitus and tack welded it to the mustang assembly. This way I was able to use the mitus cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn_Silva Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 4.6 Ford is the best as it doesn't have all the junk attached to it like the earlier 5L mustang ones. Nice and clean. The explorer uses a similar item. Take care Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 The 3 that I modified for other users all use the 96+ 4.6 mustang TB, It is also the same one I use on my own intakes, It's cheap and at 67 MM, it has plenty of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
