An adapter can be found yes. But if you have the standard 92mm opening on your blower you will gain nothing significant over a stock 5.3 92mm TB form that expensive 102mm TB. If you have the stock TB run it. You will not be able to tell any difference. Sell the Nick Williams.

So I did get an answer from someone on the Facebook forum, and he has the same whipple 2.3L. He said the NW 102 is a direct bolt on as far as bolt holes. I’m just going to take my snout/J-tube off and have my local machine shop bore it to 102mm

I have a 102 bolted directly to mine, and it is ported as well. See pic and the lower set of bolt holes.

Did you bore it out yourself Richard? And if so what tools did you use?

No, I bought it used from a guy who had it ported by NewEra Performance somewhere in the northeast (I think). Im assuming they used the same tools as one would use to port heads.
