Individual runner throttles for EFI

[Anonymous]

Can't seem to find anyone who does parts/setups at a reasonable price when doing individual runner throttle setups for EFI.................. (Some mobs want the same price for a DCOE Weber style throttle body as a complete new DCOE. Plainly ridiculous!

What I need is just the throttle plate and body whether individually (6of) or pairs etc.

Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys.

stromberg throttle bodies should work but you have to make all the linkages your self and measure with a dial indicato to get all opening at same time.
not sure if they will be big enough but.

Why not just gut some 2bbl carbs if all you're after is the throttle plate and part of the body. Holley, Stromberg, and Rochester 2bbls could all be gutted and reused for that purpose.

You could remove the booster venturis and all the other fuel flowing apparatus, plug unused vacuum passages with lead shot, and just keep the air inlet and baseplate. Old, cruddy carbs are also very cheap, often free.

Consider also motorbike throttle bodies - an 1100 4 cyl or something should have what you are after - get 2 sets then you have 2 spares.

Thanks guys, I will go with the motorcycle throttle bodies. Should be a good setup when done. I will post results when completed.
