WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT, IT IS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THAT IS SUBPAR TO THE LS1 NOT THE TB.

I have a stock unit converted to Mono blade. No reason to cut up a good 58mm unit for it

Arizona Speed and Marine makes one. It's pretty nice, all polished but it will cost you. They have it on www.tbyrnemotorsports.com.

Yup I am replacing that one with a AS&M. This one came with the intake and has No IAC. I want to say it is an Early TPIs converted Monoblade.

TwoFast, what kind of intake is that. That's a nice looking setup with the monoblade!

Regorih. They just hog out the two holes into one on a Mill and then put a plate across the IAC area. Then you adjust the blade position to control idle like on a carb.

LTSpeed. That is a little Hogans for 18* high port heads

"IAC" Idle Air Control Valve

Yes, you would probably have to make one yourself, it wouldn't be that hard though.
