Quick manifold question

Will a N/A lower intake manifold fit together with a TII upper intake manifold?

I'm asking because I have 3 engines, 2 N/As and a TII, and I'm going to use the TII center plate with the N/A end plates and turbo rotors housings to make an engine. I was wondering if I would need the entire N/A intake, or will the T2 uim fit on the N/A lim.

Thanks

Ok, so I will need the upper and lower 6 port intake manifold.

Next question is: Are the TII throttle bodies the same as the N/A? Want to know if the TII TB will fit on the N/A intake

Seriously? You have 3 motors ans can't answer this? The 2 TB's of the different models connect at opposite sides.

They are all short block. I don't have the intakes or exhuast from any of them.

A turboii throttle body will fit on a n/a and vice versa. The bolt pattern is the same. I'll let it go at that. My head started to hurt when I started to think about what would have to be changed around to make anything work if the wrong throttle body was put on the wrong car. Not really impossible, just that you'd have to have a throttle body off the OTHER to scavange parts off. I think thats right. Just not willing to play with it right now. I did just now put a turbo throttle body on a n/a, so I'm not making this up. Its just a little more complicated that just bolting one on the wrong dynamic chamber. Have fun.

I think I will use a N/A throttle body since the intakes will be 6 port N/A. Will there be a problem running a stock turbo with a N/A TB?

I guess this isn't a quick question any more.
