Throttle Body for 300's!
Well I pretty sure this will work, but I haven't tried it yet. I have done some extensive research and I have found the throttle bodies for the 4.9L, 5.0L, and 5.8L Ford engines for 1994 and 1995 don't differ other than the way they set on the intake manifold (according to the Chilton's manual that covers these years and actual visual inpection of a 4.9L and 5.0L engine). Here is my idea! BBK/Edelbrock make a Twin 56mm (#3837) and 61mm (#3838) High-Flow Replacement Throttle Body for the 5.0L and 5.8L EFI engines. I talked to the tech service at Edelbrock and was told the only reason why the don't list the 4.9L as compatible is they haven't tested it. Has anyone tried putting one of these Edlebrock throttle bodies on their Ford 300? I don't forsee any problems other than maybe a lean fuel/air mixture. I'm pretty sure it will work! Anyone have any comments on this before I try it out?

Go buy a mounting gasket for a 300 throttle body and for a 302 and 351, then compare them. Better yet compare them at the parts store and don't bother to buy them. Then you will know if it will fit.
