Smile Gen 3 Stock Throttle Bodies

Guys,

Which Gen 3 V8's (and which year) came with an 80mm cable control TB?

Info I have (hearsay) is that the earlier LQ4's did, before they went ETC??

TIA.

LS6 Z06 had the 80 mm TB. Look for any of the C5 Z06s - 2001 to 2004

sometimes they usually round off the numbers in publications.
but physically measured it will be around 78mm
