Default mini ram/ 58mmTB?

Anybody have experience with a 58mm on a miniram II? Will they line up or will I have to clearance the intake? Thanks!

It works fine on my MR I,,, no fitment issues at all other than the IAC housing needs to be trimmed.

Jerkyboy,
I run the same on my '86 (original owner).
No problems with install.
Performance is extremely good, but I wouldn't recommend a 58mm T.B., unless you have some other mods going for you.

If you already have the 58mm, use it. If you plan on later upgrades, use it. If there is a loss of torque its so small you will never notice it. I use to run the 58mm on my stock L98TPI and did not notice a difference. You might see a small loss on the dyno but you will never feel it in the seat of your pants.

I see you have a 383, use the 58mm...
