65mm How-To

[CSVT#49]

I use an aftermarket F-150 75mm TB on my car. It's almost a direct swap. The direction is the same as SVT TB. No need to change the linkage. Just need to open up the UIM or use a spacer. And drill out the cable linkage notch.

What year F-150 and what brand?

I used a BBK #1703 TB. It's for '96-03 F-150 4.6 & 5.4.

The mustang TB has the throttle cable pulling backward (toward UIM). The F-150 TB pulls forward, just like SVT or 3L tbs. And also has a link for cruise cable.
My research was quite rewarding.

FTW, ordered my BBK p/n1703 from Autoplicity.com for a $197.53, $206.58 with shipping.

EDIT: well after the fact I noticed that this same part can be had at streetsideauto.com with their coupon code of AFQ21220 for $188.95 shipped!

You are correct sir, from seeing the model year that you mentioned it does come out that it pulls forward when flipped upside down.

Here's my setup.
Because Taurus UIM being more protruded. I combined the 2.5 throttle cable bracket & ST220 bracket. The cruise cable fits nicely.
If using ST220 UIM, should all fit with little or no modification.
