Truck TB into F-body Intake? I bought a 5.3 LM7 out of a 2002 Silverado to swap into my 63 Nova. The 5.3 has DBC throttle body. I need to swap out taller truck intake with 98-02 car intake for a better fit. I have a chance to purchase a 98-02 intake less the TB. Will the 5.3 truck TB I have now fit into the 98-02 intake? Any issues I should expect to encounter?

I bolted the DBW TB from a 6.0 from a 2002 Silverado up to a 2000 Camaro intake with no problem. You may need longer studs, but that's just a matter of taking the studs out of the truck intake.

You will be fine, I had to slightly dent the water neck to clear the throttle cable cam. Otherwise it was a good fit.
The TB in the pics is obviously an F-Body unit but they are the same dimensions as the truck version which I also test fitted.
