Will BBK 1539 Throttle Body fit my Ty?

[live1053rulz]

Hey guys, I searched a bunch, and not sure about this. My buddy has a BBK throttle body. It's part number 1539, a 58mm thingy. He was going to use it on his 91 Firebird he built. Any change this thing will fit on the Ty, or was it only that specific one that's nolonger made?

i think you have to change the linkage to syty.

Ahh, okay. I'll take a look at it to see how doable that'll be. Any other insightful words appreciated.

LOL. I am done for the day. Two loads with a 20 foot flatbed was enough for a day. I am 1/2 way done. Not bad for 2 days work. I will finish next weekend. Now how far did you guys get?? My friend says he need a hookup for some wheels. Not on the price but he needs to find a special set for his legacy gt.

Well i thought the 85-92 TPI TB and the Sy TY TB was the same unit from the factory, therefore any TPI aftermarket TB should work.

Id say it woudl be very close, best way to find out is to bolt it up and see how the cables pull when you mash the gas.

Haha, sweet. Sounds like you got a bunch done. We didn't do all that much. New wheels on and limped home. He'll order up and change both rear axles at the same time. Have your friend give us a call at the shop, or just come by. Info's all on our website bigwheels.net Hopefully we can find him what he's lookin for.

Yeah, I thought they looked pretty close. I'll compare the two and see what it looks like. Thanks.

Re: Will BBK 1539 Throttle Body fit my Ty?

there is a picture of a syclone motor in the members' projects area that has a BBK TB on it. Its syclone #09xx (owner Chris). Not sure if its the 58mm or not....

Also, what about running a TPI air foil in the TB? Im assuming moderate gains can be expected. I also think that there is a single butterfly TB out there that is for TPI cars. Think I saw it in an older issue of HOT ROD/CAR CRAFT when they were doing one of their TPI F-body builds...
