I dont know but sounds kinda cool. I guess you would have to look at how it mounts and all the cables and sensors.

no spot for your MAP sensor...Ford uses a Different IAC and TPS design...it probally "could" be made to work...but for the time and effort. Probably not worth it.

Go ahead and get it. For 1991-up 242ci, I'm sure the mounting pattern is the same four-bolt pattern that Ford and probably Chevvy used, there just may be different provisions for attaching/connecting sensors and the IAC.
If you do have to adapt anything, please take pictures and share your notes!
Since you don't have to fork over for the thing, half of the work is already done for you.
For those who come later, note that the Ford throttle body will not directly bolt to the intake - you'll need to fabricate an adapter plate (most people use 1/2" thick aluminum plate for this purpose.)

I think I missed something what's the up side to this? Can't you just bore out a jeep tb. And isn't the intake hole only so big? Just wondering what I'm missing.
