Has anyone here checked into using a TB from a vortec 6.0L in your vortec 5.3L ?
I have changed the TB on my 2.5L jeep to the TB from a 4.0L jeep with good results as the 4.0L TB was 10mm larger and the same bolt pattern. All I had to do was change over my original AIS motor to get the correct idle and open up the manifold to match the opening of the larger TB
My 2003 vortec 5.3L TB is 72mm and I see aftermarket TB at 80mm but I cannot find any information on a stock 6.0L TB
I do not want to spend $300-$500 on an aftermarket TB if I can have similar results with a junk yard vortec 6.0L TB for $50.
If the 6.0L TB is has the same venturi opening, would grinding the lip from the back of my stock 5.3L TB make any difference?
