Hi Everyone,

Im getting ready to put my 350 in and I need some advice on the throttle linkage. The truck was originally an inline 6, and when I go to install the V8 throttle linkage, the holes do not line up to the holes in the firewall. Is it mandatory to drill new holes or am I missing something?

If you have a kit for that model it should fit in the holes already there. I've done 2 of them & what I have run into is the linkage when you get it is not assembled like it goes on. You have to take it apart & figure how it goes.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Ahh, maybe your right. I'll reverse the mount and see if that works. I don't have the engine in so it makes it difficult to see where the linkage will end up.---
