48mm? Wow..that kinda sucks.. Although even with a bigger one it probably won't help much more considering the plenum and heads....

I think the V-6 fieros have something funny with the throttle linkage, like it's on the opposite side or something weird that makes the throttle bodies non-interchangeable as Dale said..

Greekss350: What about mpfi celebrity euro-sports;

My linkage was so worn i couldn't set the tps. I found one on a celebrity that had the same part number on it as my 87 firebird.
It also had the same mat, maf, iac and tps. That celebrity was a gift from ***, i needed all those parts. everyone one wants to hose you as soon as you say "I need a xxxx for a Firebird".


thought i'd throw that in here if it's any use

I own a 62mm Throttle body, I'm having extensive welding and porting being done to the plenium and intake manifold to match. Here's a link to them, don't know if you can still purchase one, I believe they have stopped making them-

I know, im on it already



However, that tb for the 3.4 is being made as a direct bolt up to the 3.4l intake, which is diff then the 2.8/3.1 intake, as so is the TB totally different
