How to adapt Mustang throttle body to GM application?

I dont mean how to physically do it. i can mount the thing.

How do the elctronics interface? By that I mean the TPS and the IAC. I figure it isnt a plug and play type of thing, so what is involved. Wondering if anyone here has even done this.

Im thinking of going to the accell pro ram intake and would sure be easy to hook my blower to the intake with round tube rather than fashioning something oval to connect to my TB.

Also, what about the throttle linkage and TV cable.

Hey Guido...
Accel has what you need in the DFI line.
They have adapters so the B Oval guys can run the DFI and mount GM electronics on their ford throttle bodies.
You making a 90° adapter to mount the throttle body to? The Pro Ram you're using fits up to a four bore throttle body doesn't it? With a 5 1/8" round top?

Yeah it will fit that but I dont really want to run a 4 barrel TB. Its hard to connect a discharge tube from a supercharger (or turbo ) to it. Maybe Ill just fabricate an aluminum elbow here at work and mount my 58mm TB on it if I get the intake.

Could have sworn Ford TPS and GM work at same or very similar voltages. If they're similar, but not same, maybe adjustment?

no idea on IAC.
