that looks like the size of flange that was on a gigantic 70's garret off an international harvestor i bought at an industrial equipment suprlus yard one time.
90mm tb is useless on a split port tb flange, the intake itself (upper) will need cut in half and a new half made to even use a mustang TB.



if you look hard enough you can see the 302 tb gasket.
