That’s legit!!! Thank you! I wish I would’ve found that before doing my painless install but may try one for the megasquirt harness…. Or the next project car :)
That's what I'm thinking as well! I've also got a 92mm TB... My diesel moves way more air than this engine ever will and the intake elbow and grid heater is way more restrictive than this 92mm throttle body will be at 90% open.

Here's a question for you all.... Does the throttle body blade have to be 100% flat to maximize airflow? I'm sure the megasquirt has a calibration for 0-100% throttle no matter where the valve ends up at. I'm pretty sure with a slight adjustment I can get the throttle body valve to slightly...
Got a bracket ordered from Jegs. Should allow me to copy SRT8Cudas linkage.
Modified my pedal again today. The cable was kinking a bit with a poor mockup so will secure it better and improve the routing when the bracket shows up. I can’t stand a sticky pedal motion so hoping this gets it right.
110% jinxed myself.
Got throttle cable installed on pedal side, I ran the attachment a little higher than factory to try and get more travel out of it. But factory pedal travel only opens the LS cable throttle body maybe 50%.
With the extra travel needed I dont know that modifying the pedal...
Ran out of time today but looking at this radiator package. Gotta measure and see if it’ll actually fit. But the combination fans and radiator with correct mounting brackets make it a fairly decent value.

Got a decent plant for the...
Nothing fancy but I managed to modify my throttle pedal to accept the LS cable attachment today. Hope to fab up the bracket for the throttle body side tomorrow.
I have my engine as far back as possible. Tight enough that I can't run the factory SRV module on the back of the SRT8 intake, had to run the MMX block off plate. With the engine this far back, it BARELY clears the power rack and pinion, like 1/8" clearance.... No other interference other...
Got fuel lines buttoned up, power steering lines done, and got a plan for throttle pedal. Going to modify the factory pedal to accept the LS cable attachment. Also got hydraulic clutch bled and working great. Sure is nice to sit in the drivers seat a pump the clutch and shift through the gear...
That looks great!! I hear you on the side to side support the factory stuff just ain’t meant for the corners!
Few more things about wrapped up.
Got battery tray welded in the trunk.
Will finish up fuel lines tomorrow minus a few fittings that won’t show until next week.
The hydraulic clutch...
Oh yeah if you look you’ll see I made a mount bracket to mount the clutch MC reservoir off the brake MC. Didn’t want to drill holes in the firewall. Waiting on a 180* 4AN fitting and a new 48” throttle cable from jegs so I can finish up my pedals. Then I’ll finish fuel lines and get my battery...
