Overview
BBK sells this Power Plus throttle body as a bolt-in replacement for the factory unit on the Ford two-valve engine named in the title. The listing describes machined aluminum castings with stamped linkages, double sealed bearings and o-ringed shafts.
The case for this part is a purpose-made match for one Ford engine family, built from machined castings with sealed moving parts. The limits are thin data: the listing gives no warranty terms, no included parts and no flow figures.
Who it's for
A tuner working on a Ford two-valve engine in the named years can match the part number and fit it in the factory position. Owners of any other engine, and buyers who need warranty terms in writing, should look elsewhere or ask the seller.

Performance notes
The bore size sets how much air can reach the intake at full throttle, while the sealed bearings and o-ringed shafts limit air leaks around the moving parts. The maker claims a gain that depends on the vehicle, and the listing offers no measured flow numbers.
