79 Cutlass with 455
Well,
I went ahead with this project, got the 455 rebuilt with mild cam, going in with th400. That's the tip of the iceberg, when I look at it. What to do for accelerator linkage and bracketry? Got essentially nothing, except a rebuilt quadrajet and the accelerator cable coming out of the firewall. Using an Edelbrock intake. Same for transmission shifter bracket - I have a column shifter and want to keep it. Any ideas on what parts to source to make this work?
Thank you!
Tom

I used factory throttle linkage on my car with no problems. Since you have a 400 trans, you don’t need to worry about the correct linkage for the kickdown cable. On my 69, there was plenty of cable length to compensate for the additional height of the performer intake.
