Throttle Body Question... I took an LQ9 out of a 2002 Cadillac Escalade. We are putting it into my wifes 1980 Z28 Camaro. I have a set of 823 LS3 heads, LS3 Cam, LS3 Timing Set and LS3 Intake Manifold. I am missing the LS3 Throttle Body but was told it wouldnt work with my LQ9 harness and PCM anyway.
My question is, Is it easier to keep my current drive by wire 3 bolt throttle body and drive by wire pedal with one of those 3 bolt to 4 bolt adapters? or...
Should I get a 90mm or 92mm (I cant find which is the factory diameter on the LS3 Intake Manifolds) cable driven throttle body with TPS and AIC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we will hopefully have the motor put together and into the z28.
Thank you,
Jose

Yeah this is the one that I was looking at.
Im sure it would work. Not sure how bad the restriction would be with a smaller TB than what the LS3 intake manifold is capable of. but that should still plug and play.
