So I was surfing craigslist the other day, and a guy had an edelbrock upper and lower intake for $180. I was wondering if the stock throttle cable would work on a 5.0 mustang throttle body. If it matters, my truck is an 88 150 with a 302. Any input would be appreciated.

 

anybody know?

 

Its been done before with some modification ,, The 5.0 truck intake is very good even with performance upgrades....Lew

 

It can definitely be done with some modification and that modification will depend on which way you decide to run the upper intake. I decided to run mine reversed and here are some pics of what I ended up doing to make the stock cable work. I used only the part of the stock bracket that the cable clipped into then made a bracket to bolt to the EGR eliminator plate.

 

I agree that it can be done, but I also agree that the stock 5.0 intake is pretty good. I would keep the stock intake, unless your building a pretty modified motor.
