    DBC to DBW?

    i'm possibly looking into doing a tbss intake manifold soon...... i was thinking it would prolly be cheaper instead of going and spending 400-500 on a 90mm DBC TB. I could just convert my truck to a DBW and use the TB the intake comes with...

    Any help appreciated........ Thanks

    Not saying it couldn't be done... but why? I converted from DBW to DBC just here recently. You would have to change alot of stuff up harness, sensor, and pcm wise to accomplish it and probably spend just as much if not more than just purchasing a DBC throttle body. I'd just stick to what you have

    here you go... Edelbrock 3864 Edelbrock Victor LS Series 90mm Throttle Body

    Throttle body is worth it, just to save the hassle. The hardest thing about my swap is gonna be the DBW conversion
