LS1 TB and 700r4
Hi,
I don't have a swap, but I'm working on switching to a single plane EFI on a Gen 1, with an LS-style throttle body on an elbow. Using the 700r4.
I've done searches but coming up empty. Is anyone aware of whether there's a special LS throttle body arm and mounting bracket that could be used to mount both the throttle cable and the 700r4 TV cable? The elbow has the same bosses as the stock LS1 intake, so if it works for that, it should work for this.
Any ideas?

Re: LS1 TB and 700r4
There are brackets available to do this... I am sorry, I do not know of a Part Number off of the top of my head.
Note:
Using a EFI Throttle-Body that uses 4 Butterflies on a Carburetor-Manifold would simplify finding the Bracket that you require.
You would simply use one of the Brackets produced for a Carburetor.
No Elbow would be needed.

Re: LS1 TB and 700r4
Thanks for the response. I'd considered that as well, but I don't think that there's room under the hood for the carb-style TB and the hat needed to plumb to the filter. Plus they're pretty expensive compared to an $80 LS TB and cheap Holley elbow.
Since there are so many people out there that do LS swaps, figured there has to be some kind of bracket or kit that has the right geometry out of the box.
