Default Whats a good throttle body for my stroker ?

I build a 4.6 stroker and realized my stock renix throttle body is like 49mm lol that's just not going to work. I also used a 99 high flow intake manifold so I have the newer throttle body bolt pattern. What's a good stock (cheap) swop ?

I built it using the 96 h.o head rebuilt using the stock 1.91 1.5 valves 4.0 .040 over mahle dish pistons 4.2 707 casting rods and 1990 wrangler 4.2 crank. Complete Crane cam kit litters, springs, locks/retainers, timing chain and cam. The kit starts making power at 800 rpm to 4700 rpm .

60mm is the bore of your intake manifold. It will be fine. Your stock TB is only 52mm.

Your COMANCHE should have a TB with a 52mm throttle butterfly.

Just received a reply from Jeff Leigh at www.strokedjeep.com. He bores all sorts of throttle bodies for both Renix and HO Jeeps. He confirmed what I thought to be true and that is all Renix 4.0 throttle bodies have the same bore size of 52mm.

I used a Hesco 62mm Throttle Body on my jeep. Had all their internals in my engine too, and it was pretty awesome.
