ALL 85-92 TPI throttle bodies are 48mm, so the Corvette throttle body (unless it has been ported) is no bigger than your current throttle body.

The other problem is the throttle linkage will be different.

On a stock engine, you're throwing away money on a larger throttle body.

If the linkage is the same it is not off a 86; late models TB have a quadrant ( groove ) the cable sits in whereas the early ones just have a stud the end of the cable fits to.
