if you are wanting to replace the throttle body with a newer one. replace it with the proper one. don't tray and jimmy rig it.

As Doug said, it is the same thing.. Ford calls it a electronic throttle body, others use the simpler drive by wire term.

They are the same thing. You mean going back to the old way? You would have to find one from an older vehicle that uses that same engine and find a cable operated gas pedal linkage. Not an easy thig to do. Why not leave it alone? Therer are ways to make them better and faster by changing the ecm programming.
