This is probably over the top, but in addition to bypassing the throttle body coolant passage, I also dressed up the passage by trimming off the coolant connections, filling them with JB Weld and sanding them smooth. I finished it off with cast aluminum colored paint.

I forgot the pic. Sorry.

Re: Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

Over the top or not, I think that's a nice touch and it looks like it came out very well, good job!

Re: Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

Looks like an aftermarket unit to me as well, just looking at the throttle arm...

Re: Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

Thanks for the compliments. The devil is in the details for sure. Now if the rest of my car looked that good... In answer to the question about the throttle body, it is a Holley unit.
