I have a TB spacer on my SOHC. I am pleased with the performance and gas mileage boost.

Take a look at http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60633&highlight=spacer

Do a little internet research on TB Spacers before purchasing one. Some think they actually do something, most believe they are crap.

This is very true.

However, the ones who generally bad mouth them have never actually done comparason tests on their own SOHC truck.

The throttle body off a 2001 Ford Mustang is the same on the SOHC. I have a 75mm TB on my Explorer and it was a direct fit including throttle and cruise control cables. Just make sure you measure the inlet on the intake manifold to make sure the hole is big enough and that the TB opens and closes without sticking.
