If you read the article all the way through you'll find that he states that you can not simply swap the TB's, the mounting holes are a little differnt, and there are some other issues too that he went over. As far as the time/cash/energy vs. gain in power, really thats up to you, you could probably find a used intake from a 93 or so 2.6 in a pick and pull yard for anyware from $25-$100 depending on what kind of operation it is your dealing with. And then comes in the wonderful job of yanking the upper manifold off, which really isn't that hard. All in all, I really couldn't tell you if it's worth all the time, I'm sure you'd "feel" some gain, but who knows. I'm doing the same upgrade on my parent's '88 Trooper, but it's also in conjuction with having the bottom end rebuilt, a new head put on, and some other stuff, so it's something that can just be added in along with the "normal" work.
