hello, just been cleang up my throttle body for my project and have noticed something.
The fittings on the throttle body for my m40 engine are the same, it has the same position switch also, except the bore's diameter is about 7mm bigger.
dya reckon that i would have any problems with fitting this on l-jetronic injection + would it give me much gain on the power side?
any help appreciated? :D

i changed the whole intake manifold on my 320 for a 325 i beleive the m40 has the smallest throttle body where as the 325 is 60 mm i think. i notced a small amount of increased performance but mostly the engine just breathes and revs better. only thing now is to get the manifold port matched because for some reason the actual inlet ports on the 325 manifold look more restrictive than the 320. strange i know. i know of a place that makes 62mm throttle bodies but i didnt really see the point in spendin an extra $200 for 2 mm.
