I have a 3500 pickup I’m pulling the old tired 350 out of and dropping in a 454 in it’s place. Other then headers and an EGR delete, the big block is a stock unit.
I currently do not have a throttle body. That and a tune are the last things on the list to order.
So I’m wondering about the route to go...
-I’ve read I could run the one from my 350, but my guess is it’s probably small.
-I can order a new stock throttle body that’s proper for my big block.
-Or the last option I’ve been contending with is a bigger, aftermarket unit, probably a BBK, which is 80mm vs the 75mm stock. I just wasn’t sure if this was worth it for a stock motor.
Thanks ahead of time for the input.
