throttle body question
Does anyone know if an OEM 1996 throttle body will fit onto a 1985? Are any modifications required? Is there anything I should think about? I also have an Upgrade to the 1996 OEM as well. I think it is 450 cfm. would either bolt right on? what benefit would this give me?

It should bolt up, but the 85 and 96 linkage are different..I don't see any benefit, just a lot of work changing the linkage...Im still using the stock throttle body with close to 400 hp in my 89 , so I can't see it doing anything to add power to a stock motor.... ..WW

Stock 48mm TB on the 85 will support up to about 400 HP. No benefit to making the change.
