The F&B uses the stock bolt pattern so no adapter needed. They stock 68`s and also 70`s but the web site only shows the 68`s. Same pricing.
You are talking about the Jeep 4.0L F&B right? Because this adapter fits a 4.7L dodge/Jeep TB to the 4.0L intake manifold
Also, I couldn't tell from the pics of the actual piece, but going off the green cad image you might have a problem.
The spot in the upper right of the adapter piece, kind of off set. That is where the IAC bypass dumps into the intake manifold. If that image is correct you will me blocking that hole off. The plate needs to be machined down in that area to let the IAC work. See pic below of the 4.7L intake manifolds.
Alternatively you could modify the throttle body in that area.
Also, I compared the 4.0L TB to the 4.7L. The throttle shafts are the same height (or close enough) to only need spacers the thickness of the adapter to keep the throttle linkage happy. However, the end of the throttle shaft sticks out about 1/4" more than the 4.0L when the bores are centered over each other. I don't know how much if any of an issue that may cause, but just something for you to consider.
