i purchased a shortblock and heads and a vic jr. for my budget build

so i dont have a t/b

stock 4.8/5.3's and 6.0's are going to be to small for the rpm's i want to turn with it

realistically i think a t/b setup shouldent cost much over 250$ or so, i'd be within my budget if i can do it for that

i think i'm going to have to hit up junkyards or fab a dual stock t/b setup up i will really only need on tps and one iac functioning the others can be dummys or blanked off

I've seen NW 90mm cable TB's go for $200 or less on 'Tech... go hunting over there, you'll lkely find what you need over there, not here, for such a setup.

You can take an early 80's 4 barrel carb (from a Camaro/TA, or anything that had electronic control for the timing/etc.), and dismantle it to use as a throttle body. It already should have a 0-5V TPS on it, so all you would need would be a wiring diagram and to remove the choke tower and fuel venturies.
