Re: so bad sound from engine help me lol
The only advantage is they are shiny lol but ill just use mine
You can use it, but you'd have to buy some more stuff, and there is no advantage to it at all. the stock l67 fuel rail works just fine, I have it on mine. Here's a pic, and you can also see the throttle body adapter.

I know the Northstar TB is the next engine upgrade I'll be doing, after suspension is done. I know you need a different adapter plate, external MAF, a tune for it, and connectors for the N* TPS, IAC, etc. You can buy adapters for the connectors, or cut your stock connectors off and solder the Northstar connectors (harvested at a JY). You know me, I plan the second one. Thats about all I know about the swap itself, I need to find out what year Northstars are compatible, and all the little details out on the swap.

The "right" one looks like this:
Not to say you couldn't make the one you have work, but it would be much more effort than finding the "right" one.
The whole N* TB isn't really worth getting into unless you have some more serious mods like ported heads, cam or intercooler.

Yea, thats why I went the l67 TB route, I needed my car on the road again. The l67 TB's bore is smaller than the Gen V, so it'll be a bottleneck. Not a big one, but something I'll fix down the road, either by porting my TB or going Northstar.

Just for our reference, would you know what year(s) those TB's came off of?The "right" one looks like this:

Re: so bad sound from engine help me lol
Don't bother porting it.
It'll just make tuning it more difficult. If you need the flow, go with the N*. Easier to tune, and flows more.
I believe it's the 00-04 era, but I'm not 100% confident in those numbers. Mostly the start year.
