Source for small throttle bodies?

[dennis]

The 46mm throttle bodies from 2.2/2.5/3.0 chryslers might work for you. The OD of the inlet is 2.25", the bore is 46mm. They also come in a 52mm incarnation and very rarely(late 3.8 vans) 58mm, with larger OD's of course. They have a flat 2 bolt mounting flange, and are fairly compact. If you removed and plugged the AIS motor cavity and machined off some of the AIS casting/machining ports, you could mount them right next to each other without much trouble.

You would have to do some cutting/welding or epoxying to remove the AIS crap in order to make them fit next to each other without a gap.

Check them out. They use a standard type TPS sensor.

If you are real interested, email me @ spoolboy at autospeed.com. I have a few 46mm ones I wouldn't mind parting with.

I'll see if I can dig up a site with a picture for you.
