normally we put 1st gen throttle bodies on our cars. I have a 60 mm first gen waiting to go on my car. I just gotta get 2 2.5" hose couplings.
You live in VB area?
There is a burnt up talon at Tubbs that still has the tb and all that crap on it. If all you need it the plate it should be fine.
They do bore our throttle bodies out but its kinda a waste when its easier to get a 90-94 tb and just open up the manifold.
