Throttle Body Spacer 5.0

[ndnashlenss]

Awhile back I bought my buddy a throttle body spacer for his 5.0 for his birthday. Turns out he did a gt350 intake manifold swap with the throttle body so it wouldn't work for him. So I tried it out on my stock 2022 F-150 5.0, seems like ford upgraded our throttle bodies to 87 mm from the stock 80mm. I personally don't think it would add anything as far as power. But I love tinkering just like any other enthusiast. Also I would recommend the oil catch can that's what my throttle body looked like after 15k miles in 4 months since I bought the truck, did empty out quite a bit of oil from the catch can in that time too! But short answer anyone thinking of upgrading the throttle body think again, anyone wanting to run a spacer from the previous gen also don't recommend it unless you can widen it out.

Think one of the older 87mm throttle bodies like this one would work?

I believe that’s the adaptor plate to mount the gt350 or any 87mm throttle body to a stock manifold that’s 80mm wide. It more than likely wouldn’t line up since our trucks also come with 87mm wide intake manifold openings.

ah that makes sense why the extra holes on the plate.

Did the manifold bolt up to your 2022 f150?
