possible throttle body upgrade???

ok. i was looking around online in my free time for some stuff for the truck and ran across this at BBK.BBK: 87-96 Ford Truck, RV 56mm & 61mm Throttle Bodies[]=363&car_motor_key[]=763&car_motor_key[]=772&car_motor_key[]=854&car_motor_key[]=933&car_motor_key[]=972
i have the 4.9 in my 95 f150. this is made for the 5.0... they look identicle... does anyone know if this is the same throttle body? i know that it is a completely different engine, but are these able to be swapped? if so, would this be a upgrade that would be worth it???

No, a complete waste of $$ on that motor. There's not much worthwhile you can do on that motor beside the exhaust, but the more of it you can replace the better.
