I just wondered if there was alternatives to not using a tbody gasket. Would rtv black hi temp silcone work? I really dont want to wait that long until I fire up the motor. Im getting the jitters.

It's not the right way to do it but I've used form-a-gasket. I think that would be better than silly-cone.

Why would you have to wait? Any good speed shop should have 'em hanging there.

I'd get some gasket paper and make my own...

Cereal boxes cut to fit make great TB and EGR gasket material as well.

Yup, gasket paper (or cereal boxes in a pinch) with a little RTV on either side, your golden.

I recommend Corn Flakes, the extra boost in horsepower they would give you would be Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

How so? I've never seen Count Chocula or that goofy little Leprechaun double as a throttle body gasket in a pinch. Tony’s the $hizznit!

get some gasket material and place it on your t body and take a hammer and tap it so you see where to punch the holes for the screws..thats what i did in a pinch.
