Yes, you can bolt on a V8 throttle body, but you will have to remove
the inake and carefully grind the holes to the larger V8 diameter. While
you have the intake off, you can have a machine shop mill the intake
runners in the plenum area down. These two mods will give you
significant gains (25-30hp) and shouldn't cost too much. Get yourself a
copy of the July 97 issue of mopar muscle where these and other mods are
shown in detail. I don't recommend glasspack type mufflers. A large,
turbo syle muffler will perform better and can sound quite throaty as
well. Good luck
