Default Throttle Body Compatability - Different FBody years

I'm looking to use a 700r4 utilizing the Bowtie Overdrives TV Made EZ Kit. I got the kit in th email and it definitely doesn't match up to the later style F-Body throttle body "cam"? Different shape really. So... What are my options here? Will the earlier f-body throttle bodies (or vette?) with the correctly shaped cam work? Will these still work with the 2001 ecm/wiring/sensors?

I'd rather buy a throttle body than a transmission at this point...

Thanks!

I believe you will have to make a bracket so the kickdown goes to the bottom side of the cam. If you don't know how, I am sure we could come up with something for it.

BTW, all C5 and newer Vettes are Drive By Wire.

Perhaps I didn't phrase it right:

I have a TV Cable kit to mount up to the cam on the throttle body. This is meant for throttle body cams shaped like the half-circle (linear throttle plate turning). I have the later throttle body with a different cam shaped like a half eclipse. Does anybody sell just the cam and shaft to swap out?

I would post in the classifieds and see if anyone will swap you straight across. That will be the easiest thing. You don't want to start taking the TB apart and swapping shafts....blah...blah..blah...
