you can bore the stock CFI throttle bodies to 2" any machine shop can do this (i was quoted 17 dollars a bore)
you can get the throttle blades from Barry grant carburetor

First off no the single Holley TBI units would not work without modification. One of the stock units has a FPR and the other does not as it gets feed via the other TB.

Second the stock single TBI units can be bored up to 53mm. Checkout the Vette CFI Forum there's a guy (HLWood?) who sells 2" flaps for about 4 bucks a set and he's getting 53mm flaps soon.

So, you can bore the stock OEM 1-5/8" TBI to over 2" bore, or 53mm??? Now that's ok... I did not know that.

How much can you bore an OEM 2" TBI???

I think it's only the single barrel TBIs that can be bored to 53mm. oh yeah it's still not a good idea to go passed 2" on the single barrel TBIs. From what I hear it's really pushin it with the 53mm flaps.

As for the SBC and BBC two barrel TBIs not a clue. I'd like to know exactly how similar they are, cuz I'd like to get my SBC TBI bored to 2".

There is really no room for boring a stock 2bbl 2" tbi. None.
