Throttle body swap

Throttle body swap
I have a 2002 3.8 Camaro. It uses an Electric Throttle body. Does anyone know if it is possible to swap it for a Cable Driven Throttle body? The cheapest Electric one I have seen is 450.00. I need one because the TPS are bad and the whole throttle body needs to be replaced because the sensors are built into the throttle body. Anyone with info on this please get back to me!

Switching would be a huge project because of how it works. The DBW uses the throttle to control idle and the a non-DBW system uses a IAC motor. You computer does not have the right connection or progamming to work with a IAC system.
I swapped in low miles 02 motor into my 96. I put all the intake parts off the 02 on ebay. I only got $30 for the throttle body.
