Hey guys, I've got a question. I've got a CEG'er that is wanting to buy my SVT throttle body, but I might have a problem. I've got the SVT throttle body and the plate, but am using the SVT shaft with my Mustang 65mm throttle body. I need to know if he will be able to use his stock Cougar throttle body shaft. I've also got a 3L throttle body that I could pull the shaft out of if that would possibly work. Wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks!!

3L won't work, but he MAY be able to use his cougar shaft. Can u ask him to measure his shaft and compare it to your shaft? Yeah, I know I said shaft like way too much.

in seriousness:
i don't think he can use his SE parts.
a) shaft will be(should be if i remember correctly) too short by about 5mm
b) i don't believe the svt tb has the ledges and other things needed to support the style of return springs the se's use, and the side of the tb inlet would have to be tapped to make the return springs as well.

The holes on the SE shaft won't bolt the the SVT throttle plate, and they'll be off center. I think you may be able to make the 3l TB work a bit easier since the svt tb, is a modified version of the 3L one.

On a Cougar, what you can use depends on whether it's ATX or MTX. You need the SVT TB & TB bracket, then either a throttle cable (if it's MTX) or cruise control cable (if it's ATX). Cougar ATX throttle cable is the same as Contour SVT throttle cable. That's from memory, and I think I'm right  but unfortunately I can't double check it since FastCougar.com (soon to be NewCougar.org) is still down  for the site changeover. No idea on the ability to use the 3L part.

we're talking about swapping linkages, return springs and throttle shafts, not cables. Thanks for the info tho.
edit: that has to be the first time i've ever seen a newb's first post attempt to help someone, my hat is off to you sir and welcome to the forums.

linkage and cable are totally different pete, remember the SE's have that dual spring\lever contraption and svt's are a single cam lobe the cable rides over with one spring.
I still think the SE shaft is too short. I have an se TB sitting at home in pieces, i'll try and remember to neasure the shaft tonight, perhaps someone has an SV%T sitting around they can measure.

Yeah, but why is it that the ATX SE's use a diff type of connection and longer cable?! Anyone have a picture of the ATX Tb and linkage?!?!
