You can put a DBC throttle body on any GenIII intake. Most, but not all, intakes will have provisions for threaded inserts to be put into that the throttle cable bracket bolts to. If your engine is from a truck it most likley will have them, vans usually don't. But as long as the provisions are there, you can take the inserts out of a junk intake and hammer them in yours.
