My sole reason for flipping the throttle body around was my faiv coolant lines faced towards the motor and not away for a cleaner for a look. However I've since removed the faiv so it wasn't even an issue anymore.
To flip the throttle I had to tear apart the throttle return. Because once its tb is flipped it faces the wrong direction. I had to cut the throttle stop off the tb. I currently never added a throttle stop, I just plan on putting something behind the gas pedal as a stop. I flipped the linkage by removing the nut, pulling the metal plate off (make sure the spring does not come off). I couldn't imagine trying to get the spring back on this thing. The plate comes off in one piece. Drill out out the tack welds that hold the two pieces together. Flip the one and on the other, bend it so it doesn't hit the closed throttle sensor. Weld it back up and put it back on and you are good to go. its kinda hard to explain, but just try and it will be become obvious on what needs to happen.
I'm using the stock ram 50 cable. I took the firewall plate that mounts the throttle and cut it. I rewelded it so it faces straight down. The throttle cable goes down, and loops back up and comes up around the outside of the intake. The bracket I'm using to hold the cable to the intake came off my eclipse donor car.
I started the car for the first time last night, and besides the motor not being grounded, coolant leaks, and the charging circuit not working everything worked great. Started after only just a few cranks, and idle extremely well. I was honestly expecting some throttle surge. But it was rock solid.
