    Any sort of power tools makes it tolerable. Just imagine doing one by hand tho, it would have to suck.

      Not sure who would be enough to attempt that with hand tools. I'm sure someone would though, lol.

          Yes, but only if you use the HO upper intake to go with it. Using the larger throttle body and spacer on a stock lopo upper won't do much good. The opening in the end of the lopo upper is much smaller than the HO size spacer is

                Fuck. I've been reading up on swapping the upper intake, tb, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell of me swapping the linkage on the TBs correctly. I don't even know where to start, and chances are pretty good I don't have the tools for it. can't weld.

                  Why don't you ask Scott how much he'd charge to do it and ship your parts to him?
                  Then you'd have the piece of mind of knowing it was done right.

                  Don't know what your budget is, but I bet Scott could put a whole assemly together for you if you asked.

                    I just purchased a Holley ball-stud assortment, as the correct ball was in the package....and drilled the hole for the TV bushing.

                    After adding threadlocker to the ball stud thread, problem solved, and no welding.

                      I'd love to just get the stuff in the mail and slap it on the car...and you're right, I would know it was done right by somebody who knows Panthers.

                        I guess I don't understand the parts involved. Looking at the pics isn't helping me...much, anyway. I see what needs to be done but am terribly afraid of breaking shit like this when I do it myself.

                          I don't know what gets ground off etc....like I said I'd love to do this and learn but I'm terrified I'm going to break it if I try.

                            does the linkage include the part going down through the tb?

                              no

                              Just the arm on the throttle body is what we call the linkage.

                                There's another thread on this in the tech section, I found this pic there. It showes what Pirate was telling you regarding drilling new holes instead of switching the leavers.
