TB with 3.5 swap
So my 3.5 came without a TB and I have two accessible choices. I have a spare 4th gen TB and the 00 TB that is currently in my car. I had planned to sell the 00 TB with 00VI when I pull the motor, but could keep it. I don't remember the ID on the 00, but from the gaskets, it looks like the 4th gen and 00 TB are nearly the same. I'm wondering if there is any advantage to using the 00 TB over the 4th gen on the 3.5 swap, or neither. I can make a plate to adapt either one, so fitment is not a concern for me. I know a 3.5 DBW or pathfinder TB would be better, but I would rather spend the $200 I'd have to spend for another TB on WB02 or fuel computer.
Recommendations please.

Thanks, but if I'm going to spend $100 on a TB, I'd spend another $100 and get a pathfinder TB and not have to fool with modifying the TB to be cable driven.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like my gut was right, don't waste time with the 4th gen or 00 TB. I'll be looking for a PF or VQ35 TB. Oh, btw, I can make the adapter no problem, so no concern there.
