No, 2004+ (Gen V) are drive-by-wire, meaning no throttle cable, it's all computer controlled. They also have a 4 bolt flange, whereas the Gen 3 is a 3 bolt flange, that's why you need the adapter plate.

I found it, they're 06+ gaskets. Mine came off an 04, so I got hosed on that one. I have the part number now, and it's cheaper! Thanks man!
GM part number: 12584411
Lol yeah its actually a 06 so that would be why is there a way to use the fuel rails I don't think I can just took them with lolQuote:

I got this out of a flipped over ss trail blazer I like the look
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.
I dont think it will be a easy to get this one to work lol
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?Quote:

I believe it's the 00-04 era, but I'm not 100% confident in those numbers. Mostly the start year.
Awesome, thanks for the info. Whenever I get to the point where I'll be doing the swap I'll compile as much info as I can on the subject.
