from a 2002 camaro off some guy a while back, and it had a throttle body still attached to it. i want to have my throttle body ported, so i figured id just get this extra one ported so i could just swap it in when i put in the manifold. didnt really look at it too closely at first, but today i discovered that there is something broken on the bottom of it

i can see where the broken pieces would connect by lookin at the tb thats in my car rite now. but my question is is this tb screwed? and what exactly are those little metal tubes hookin up to?

that tube is for the coolant hose going from the TB to the top of the radiator. the tube on the right/upper side of the TB goes to the coolant crossover pipe between the DS and PS heads.
It looks like you can still run a hose from it. However, what a lot of people do is run a straight hose from the coolant crossover pipe to the radiator, thus bypassing the TB coolant passages. (coolant goes thru TB, water heats up air, less power, etc). bottom line, it can work
