Default Will stock ly6 throttle body fit sheet metal?

Ok guys. I got my motor in the truck today. I had planed on running an ls3 intake on the 6.0 ly6 but today when I tried to install it I noticed it won't fit because the throttle body hits the alternator and idler. So I'm thinking of getting a sheet metal intake. I found a nice one that recommend a 102mm TB but an electronic 102mm TB is very expensive. So my question is....... can I install the taller sheet metal intake but run the stock 80mm (or whatever it is) TB for now until I can save my pennies? Will any 4 bolt TB work?

you can make the ls3 fit with some relocation hardware. Pretty easy to find.

Stock should be 87mm, yes any 4bolt will fit.

Ok thank you! 87mm huh?

any idea where to find the relocation brackets? At this point I have an appointment with a tuner on Wednesday that took weeks to get. So what ever get me there is what I'll be doing. Lol
