    Default 1987 Vette throttle body swap?

    My brother has a '94 Z-28 Camaro with a Holley throttle body on it and he his going to sell the car. Can I make that throttle body fit on my 87 TPI Vette? I can do modifications if needed. If it can be made to fit, should I put mine on his car to sell, or save mine along with the other original parts I have taken off the car?

    Given mild overall timing, what is the closest camshaft lobe center that can be tuned with the factory computer and TPI? 108? 110? 112?

    Thanks!

    I would proceed with caution to make sure that the TV cable is correctly adjusted. If the brackets are different then you risk tearing up the transmission.

    If the parts match up, and you can make the swap, just remember that the IAC is year specific. I worked on a L98 that had idle issues and discovered the IAC that was installed was the wrong one.
