third gen TBI motor to LT1 throttle cable

what do you do about the throttle cable when swapping an LT1 into a car that had a TBI motor (out of a cadillac)


do i need to buy a 4th gen camaro throttle cable, or do i ghetto rig some kind of mechanism ???

trying to keep this build on the cheap.. seriously. every nickle and dime thing hurts my budget. and there are a ton of them..

but so far i have found all sorts of work arounds for things it seems like are "common knowledge" that people say you need to buy things for.. like... power steering hoses etc. i had no issue using the ones that came with the motor...... but maybe i was lucky.

anyway... yeah.... throttle cable ??? thx guys

get a throttle cable for a 94-96 Caprice, Roadmaster, or Fleetwood. it falls in like a stocker.
