Default Ford TB -w- Honda TPS? Or Ford TPS -w- chipped Honda ECU?

I need to get a Ford TB working with a Honda ECU. So I need to either mount a Honda TPS on the Ford TB or get a Ford TPS working with a Honda ECU. Here's a picture of the TPS mount on the TB that I need to use:




I know that I can use any TPS with an AEM EMS or a Motec, but will a chipped Honda ECU like Crome/Neptune/ECtune/Hondata/etc allow me to use a non-Honda TPS?

Alternately, has anyone mounted a Honda TPS on a ford TB?

I know Ectune allows you to 'learn' new TPS voltages. Its not uncommon to see an older motor be at 2% min and/or 95% max. Most common seems to be 101%. Go to set TPS with key on/eninge off, set zero then go full throttle to set 100%, and your golden.

Retrofitting a Honda TPS on there won't be fun, I know that. Probably not impossible, but ideally the shaft remains sealed with a gasket on that end since its just a ball bearing there. A TPS hack usually won't end up air-tight.
