Default tib or elantra TB on a 1.5 accent.....?

has anyone done this mod??

i know a few folks who have done so im gonna try my hand at this, shouldnt be too hard........
just have to drill out so new holes and sorts

well my question is that if i get a tib or elantra TB (since they are the same) with cruise control on it, will it be harder to install or what?
just curious cause if its harder to install then i wont get it, but if its not harder to install then i will take the quote i got from a junkyard.......45 bucks shipping is included for a 1999 elantra TB w/ cruise control, its a excellent deal, since im low on cash these days......
lemme know your thoughts on this guys?!

I wouldn't even think it possible to mount a Beta TB on an Alpha motor. But I suppose if you enlarged the Bolt holes, or drilled new ones, that might do the trick. The question is...can you bore out the Alpha intake manifold to match the increase in diameter of the Beta throttle Body?
