throttle valve cable geometry

totally feasible, and a good plan.

The original FAST XFI for the hemi uses a GM (LS) throttle body adapter and that is exactly how mine runs now (LS TB) so there should be a readily avail adapter. I actually have 2 winter projects along the same lines:

1. An old/tired '90 chevy truck that is getting a 5.3 LS motor and will need to control the 700r4 TV cable off the 80mm factory TB.

2. I just snagged a 200r4 for my 5.7 powered Dart, and am going to need to figure out that one as well.

I have read quite about about the TV stuff, and seen the TV made EZ product from bowtie overdrives.

Ive decided the TV made EZ is my backup plan for the truck, (due to cost of their stuff for my beater truck) so my goal is to weld my own tab/bracket to the TB or the truck, and then use that basic geometry to fab a TV bracket to the side of my FAST (aluminum) TB. I had to fab a throttle bracket for the car already just for cable drive throttle with my 727 kick down. Im hoping not to have to change much with it...

Here is a basic diagram of the correct geometry you need for the TV cable, and a few pics of "home-brew" brackets like you would need. A little leg work for sure, and some damn high school geometry, but much cheaper with simple tools...

just food for thought: my TB is a 92mm, and I was worried it would be too much for the 5.7... Its not at all, it runs like a top, and moves serious air, so if you can snag a larger LS TB, I would...
