Introduction: How to Install a HM Performance Throttle Body.

By Home Mechanics Man Cave
About: I love fixing cars and modifying them. I have a YouTube channel showing what I do. Construction is also a love of mine. I used to have a business which started as a handyman but ended up doing renovations but …

I wanted more airflow for my engine with all the upgrades already done and I have some performance camshaft's ready to go in as well so a bigger throttle body was a must. My 4.7 now a 5.0 had a 65mm throttle body but it only had a 62mm opening. I got my hands on a 68mm throttle body of a later model that had a opening of 65mm. I had that machined to 70mm all the way through. The result was impressive and when I install the performance camshaft's one that was needed. You can buy these already made but they cost a lot more. I have also had feedback that the aftermarket throttle bodies don't work as well with the onboard computers. As my throttle body is the factory unit it connects perfectly.
