      Would there be a market for this? If so, I could get a m20 throttle. And make a few of the adapters.

        I believe the spacing on the 4 mounting bolts is different

            It would almost be pointless to do if you still have the restriction of the old opening for the m20 throttle body.

              don't fight with math... you'll lose. The TB is not a problem.
