no luck on the 5.0 tb. Ill have to try a different graveyard. I did get another ohv upper intake that I can cut the throttle mount off to adapt to a new mount. plastic and jb weld will be my friend on this part.
Also, I picked up a ohv egr tube. if I flip it upside down, it will mount to the intake from rpcaster. some time on the grinder and ill be good to go.
I need 3 1/4 ntp nipples for vacuum on the drivers side drilled and tapped also. its going to be a tight fit as the egr mount is on the same side. Im not sure that I want to try this myself.
Im having trouble finding what I think is a 1/8 ntp for the vacuum/boost guage. Tough to believe I cant find this locally.

Im still frozen from being out wondering thru the trashed vehicles.
well i picked a car up for my nephew and opened the hood and it had a 3.8 and the aic is built in to the tb.after doing some research i found that the tb for a mustang is way to small but came across the tb for a 3.8 thunderbird.it has the aic built in also and you can get aftermarket 70mm.he is one for sale on ebay but think the way he measured it is wrong.can you measure the bolt pattern on the manifold you have?the mustang was 3.5"center to center on the top,i dont know what the tbird is tho and cant find if the tbird fits on the mustang 3.8.any rate here is some pics and also a pic of a plate some one made to fit a 5.0 on the 3.8 tbird,may give you an idea for a plate for a 5.0 to 4.0no luck on the 5.0 tb.

thanks for the correction on the abreviation.
I think Ill buy 10 of these nylon jobs: 1/8" OD x 1/4" MIP as they only come in 10.
the holes tapped in the intake are already 1/8, so that takes care of 2.

I need to find one of these as an L style for the top of the intake ( that will take care of all 3)
Yup, its amazing that I cant find this stuff easily. Im not even finding it online easily.
you guys have any thoughts on this one?

price is right, and Its still bigger than what I had.
wow, I just saw your post. perfect. Then Ill just go with the 65mm stock tb.
i would go 75mm
How big a TB you go with totally depends on the diameter of the upper intake tube that is between the TB and the blower because you are only as strong as your weakest link. If you add a real big TB but then it necks down quite a bit before heading into the upper intake then allot of turbulence will be added which may be enough flow resistance to create a vacuum. Any vacuum pre-blower directly affects VE of the blower and, in turn, the pressure ratio achieved post-blower. The best guidance I can give here is gradually make size transitions and minimize bigger-smaller-bigger-smaller size transitions if at all possible.
Yea was going to say measure the manifold intake hole.i suggested 75mm because the plate is 76mm and most intake tubes are 3" and he can tune for the lager tb.
