Just to reassure you, any 98 or newer TC equipped vehicle has a complete electronic traction control system. Newer vehicles do not have the older style electro mechanical module that pulled the throttle cable.
Newer vehicles have a throttle cable that goes from the pedal right to the TB and nothing in between. To all of those non believers out there, there are no hidden devices between the pedal and the TB in my SVT, none at all. That is why we have been able to equip newer cars with SVT TBs, even did an 98 ATX Contour without any issues.
Works like a charm. All you need is the SVT TB, TB gasket, TB cable and cable bracket. After that, it is a matter of honing out the inlet of non SVT duratec manifold a bit bigger so that the butterfly passes at full throttle without touching.
Takes about 1 1/2 hours to do the conversion. Pulling out the old cable from the firewall can be quite the pain, sometimes.
