#49869 09/02/2005 2:27 AM | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 2 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2005 Posts: 2 | I am getting ready to swap the 235 out of my 46 1 1/2 ton for a 348 and am not sure what to do about the throttle/accelerator pedal and linkage. Can someone who has done a v8 swap in this style truck tell me how and what available parts (if any) are available or donor parts that are suitable in regards to gas pedal and throttle linkage? I need to get this thing rolling Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks  | | |

After the engine was in, I mounted the cable and carb bracket to the engine and looped the cable in a nice loose loop back to the firewall. I then drilled the hole and used a file to make it square so the cable would stay clipped into the firewall. I attached the pedal assembly to the floor after a little bending and modifing, it was perfect.
Good luck,

When you say 348, do you mean Chevrolet
V8 348, as in 409 V8? Scalloped heads and valve covers!

I don't remember what the cost was but it wasn't much and looks nice in the 37. All I had to do was drill one hole in the firewall. Its sort of a "universal" kit. | | |
