alternative kickdown linkage?

I'm talking Bouchillon or Lokar type cable.
I have a couple of vehicles that could use some sort of alternative linkage to stock...
1st is a truck with a /6 and 727 that is getting super 6'd, the stock super 6 kickdown is damn near impossible to find.
next one is a B body 318/904, that is getting a cam and 4 barrel swap, I think I might have a factory 4 bbl bellcrank setup but not sure if itll work with the carb and intake I plan to run anyway without mods, I've been looking at some $25-30ish braided cable setups on FeeBay taht resemble Lokar etc for a more reasonable price. Anyone ever experiment with one of these setups? My son put (I think it was) Bouchillon on 2 of his vehicles and it looked cobbled as He11....Though not "Factory stock", as long as it works and don't look cobbled, I'm OK with it.
Ive also heard of people using 90s Dakota, Cherokee etc setup. Thoughts on this?
