Default LS1 Throttle Body on LT1 Intake?

Has anybody redone their intake to accept the LS1 throttle body, I will be turboing the car and think this would be nicer than a twin blade setup. I have seen monoblades but I am not to big of a fan. Any tips would be great. BTW I did search so if it has been covered before then I could not find it.

I've never heard of it not saying with the right amount of money it can be done but it would just be cheaper to get a single plane with and elbow for a ls1 style throttle body. The lt1 throttle body opening isnt anywhere close to and ls1

would there even be enough meat to make that butterfly into a circle, and if you did that would be a major hole.

Sounds like a waste of time for a boosted application. But to each their own, I understand doing some things just to be different.

a 58 or monoblade will save you a lot of headache over modifying your intake manifold
