Default Throttle body adapter

I know this may not be the right place so if it isnt i'm sorry. I'm looking for an adapter plate that places a "ls1 style" throttle body onto a carbed manifold. any one ever seen this? Or know who makes them?

I've seen stuff like for mustang throttle bodies. Mostly though, it's custom built.

are you trying to use a carbed intake on an ls1, or an ls1 tb on a non-ls1 motor?

Accel makes a kit for carbed manifolds and using TPI TB's. They also have TB's that drop right on the manifold. I wouldn't waste my time with the LS1 unit since you'll get better performance at the same price with one of these...http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...I/112-538.html
