78mm throttle body on a 5.3 intake?
Will a LS1 78mm throttle body work on a '00 5.3 truck intake manifold?
I'm thinking about getting a ported 78mm TB when I change the engine out to a 5.7 long block, but use my 5.3 intake manifold to keep everything matched up on top. I don't want to go the pulley relocation route, etc. needed with an LS6 intake.
Would I see any gains over just using my stock TB from the 5.3?
Any experienced info or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's not worth any HP between the two.
I port the cable and DBW TB's for $55 shipped. If you're interested feel free to PM me. There's a LOT of material that can be removed from the truck TB's for a nice throttle response gain.
