Explorer intake swap, which spacer to use?

I'm doing the explorer intake swap, gt40p head swap, and I will be installing a cam.  I'm also getting a double roller timing chain and gears, and replacing my water pump.

With a GT40 intake, GT40/GT40P heads, and a cam a 65mm or 70mm throttle body will be fine. Either one should match up well with an Explorer/GT40 upper.

Just make sure to have enough exhaust.  2 1/4 minimum, 2" will be just about maxed out on that combo, so will 19# injectors.  Think about 24# and MAF maybe a Cobra PCM (X3Z iirc, to make things easy, no tuning)

When I was running GT40P heads and a GT40 intake I had (still have) 2.5" exhaust on the car.
