Carb style throttle body
Carb style throttle body 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.
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.

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.

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.
