Intake Manifold Swap??? 200 1983

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/6776/b23mani1.html that covers the swap really well. You'll need to have an intercooled car obviously.

OK, there is an easier way to the TB than what is shown in there. You can use the b21ft TB and tps switch without having to rewire the b230 TB. You can even leave the Cold Start Injector in the b21ft TB with out having to drill and tap the manifold. You can see mine inplace here: http://www.pbase.com/image/11088161 (note, you'll have to free it's line from the rest of the group, but thats not a problem).

As for the linkage, because the b230 intake/TB points down the throttle arm points the wrong way on the b21 tb. So heres what you do:

Grab a b230 linkage arm. Grind off the linkage ball tab on the b21 TB linkage so that the only part is the tab that works the stock tps switch. Then, slide the b230 linkage over the top of the top of the original and thats it! It sounds much worse than it really is trust me. Here's a pic of the completed linkage! http://www.pbase.com/image/10919832

Good luck,

Doug
