Default Gt500 adapter

Ok so I have a gt509 throttlebody practically given to me for $50
The problem is I don't have an adapter plate and would prefer to not use one. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not where could I find one cheap? I looked on fleabay but only the bbr was on there. If I can get away without using one I would but how???

I know I won't see any gains or very minimal of 1-3rwhp at peak so please don't harp on that.

Also is any tuning needed?

the adapter plate is there for a reason, the physical connections between the gt500 TB and the stock 4.6 intake arent the same, so the adapter plate is needed to connect them
