Need throttle body adapter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, it's all a learning process for me.

Now I need a throttle body adapter to put the throttle body on top of a Edlebrock manifold that used to have a carburetor on it.

The kicker is that it has to have at least a 50mm opening to allow for 700 cfm.

I can find normal adapters but they impede with the throttle body and will constrict flow.

I gotta think someone else has had this issue....anyone have any ideas where I can get something like that?

I'm putting it on a 383 stroker....about a 1991 model motor.

I don't know the answer to your question, but check with Brian over at
www.tbichips.com

He is a wealth of information on TBI stuff. He helped me with info and parts when putting a Vortec 350 in my uncle's 93 Silverado.

fyi
