BBK Cable Drive TB Linkage????

[Johnny Mac]

So the Dyno 5.7 eagle engine has presented its next question... is anyone running a BBK cable driven TB, on the assumption that it may be easier to use this with a factory throttle pedal?

I have one mounted to the engine..and realize the dyno linkage is going to be a bear to get to work with this, so...what have ya'll done with the throttle cable routing and bracketry to make one of these work? Appears it will need mounted on a water pump bolt? and maybe a bracket mounted vertically to pull the hammer "Down" opposed to "back" toward the firewall, like on a carb.

here are images of the hammer, showing it rotates opposite a carb, and that its not possible to run a horizontal cable, due to the intake being in line.

Here's my cable for my FAST XFI stuff, I know it's separate side and angle, but the cable should still wrap to the rear and pull from there in my opinion.

The top cable is the throttle, and the end/attachment of it is the brass circle you see, the bottom cable is for my kickdown...

I have a Mopar Performance throttle body (looks just like yours) which is made by BBK. I'll be running my throttle cable UNDER the intake manifold. Shouldn't be a problem. My car has a manual trans though, so no kick down cable.

joe, thanks for the pic, i think the bbk will require another approach. it wraps opposite of yours, and is opposite side as you point out.

CUDA SRT, did you have to fab up a 90 or 45 degree bracket to put a universal cable on? bolted to a WP or TC bolt?
i figure it's going under the intake, and once i have the timing cover and such on it i imagine it will be apparent, JW what bracket setup people had.

I don't have the BBK , but this is how my F&B throttle body is set up .
It came with the rather flimsy throttle body mounted cable bracket ( I strenghtend it up alot ) . I made some brackets to secure the cable at two locations of the fuel rail bolts , and used a long lokar cable and cut it to length .

That looks pretty trick. I didn't think of making a plate bracket mounted off the top sensor screw plate. Im thinking my next one will have a 4 bbl intake with a holley 4bbl TB. Little more swap friendly....and kickdown friendly for the guys that want to run the old school trans

Looks familiar lol! Mine is a Lokar LS 36" "universal" cut to fit in black.

That engine bay is really a work of art. Love that cage also. Nicely done

Thanks, it was way more work than I thought.....but I learned a lot.
