before you go looking at getting TB's look at ecu options first mate,

there are many out there, emerald,dta motec etc
and also build them yourself ones, Vems, megasquirt etc.

all of the above will not be plug and play, you will need to do the wiring, you will get a basic loom with the ecu, the rest is up to you,

The shape of the casting looks like it might be to fit the Cosworth 24V.

I have to question the your idea of fitting something like this on a 2.8.
It's loads of money and work on an engine that's just not worth it.

At the very least start with a 2.9 -

proper un-leaded heads with the right number of exhaust ports!!
Chain driven cam so no plastic gear to explode!!

It just dosen't make sense to spend money on the 2.8 engine when there are better options for very little cash.
