Anybody make a carb style throttlebody for the LS2,3,7? I want to use a carb style intake on a Gen IV motor so I can keep everything looking clean. and so I can use cruise control in my 71 camaro. I have searched a bit but have not been able to find an answer. Thank you for any help.

you can run a 90* elbow and a 90 mm throttle body

Accufab make a nice one mate.

Few people on here run them




If you do a search up in the top right for accufab you should find a fair few threads about them.

Depending on the computer you're using, Edelbrock's 3878 ttb is as near a bolt on as you can get. It uses Delphi TPS and IAC electronics and is a plug in. A couple of truck guys are running them successfully.

Good luck with your retro swap.

I have an accufab and it pluged right in to all of my stock connections TPS/IAC.

If I had to do that I would just run a standard style intake, I am trying to get a traditional style looking engine.

I dont think that the Accufab one will work either. I want the drive by wire on a carb style throttle body. If no one makes anything like that I suppose I could run the external motor style like the GTO's or corvettes? Does anyone know what years I would need the motor from?
I should have asked this earlier, I meant to but I dont always think, lol

I saw an article where someone made an adapter to bolt the GM "drive by wire"
directly to the intake then use a conventional 14" air cleaner.
It looked pretty good, nice retro look.
Let me do some digging and see if I can come up with some more specifics.

I saw that before too, I thought it would work well for dyno comparison, from single plane to conventional LS intakes. Would provide back to back feedback.
I cant remember where I saw it though.

do a search by "6.0l VVT LY6 conversion to carb"
mast motorsports responded to my question with a photo of their setup
hope this helps

Yeah I found that the other day actually. They have very limited info about it and their website has almost no information or product pictures.

I went and looked again. Looks like a spacer for a regular DBW throttle body. That is going to make the whole setup too tall for me. I really need to use something like the accufab shown above. even that may be too tall but I can use a slight drop base air cleaner.
