which throttle cable are people using for mustang swaps. Not looking for any more fabrication work to make it fit. I think people are using the lokar unit. Not sure though. Going into a 87 mustang with 03 cable operated truck motor.

I used the 5.0 throttle cable. My intake had the throttle bracket, so I cut the bracket on the curved side almost where it bolts to the intake, rolled it toward the back of the engine a little at a time til it fit. Then I tacked it, removed it from the intake &welded it solid. I then drilled a hole to bolt the cable to the bracket. Looks as if it was made that way.

Nsty98 are you using a truck intake or car intake? Not sure if the truck bracket is different from the car

I'm using a car intake on my swap. I should have specified that.

Seems everyone is using the car intake ill look at it and see if I can make it work with the truck intake

Sorry, I should have read better. I don't know if you'd have enough slack to get over the truck intake.

stock 5.0 cable. I drilled a hole in the intake webbing and added a few washers and a bolt.

its got enough slack in the cable to run over the truck intake as long as you route it correctly. Its still a tight fit though. Still got to see if i can modify the truck bracketry some how.

Figured id bump the existing thread instead of making a new one,one question.what are you guys doing in order to make the throttle body open all the way?mine only goes to about 80% with a aftermarket replacement cable

I noticed that the other day with mine also. It wouldnt go all the way open. Thinking I may switch to a lokar one instead of the fox one. Or come up with another bracket.

Going to have to go custom length with mine with the big monster Hi-Ram intake. I looked at the 4 banger cable and it was not even remotely close, lol.

Lol 4 banger cable isnt even close with a stock intake.i heard mention somewhere of modding the throttle body linkage.i havent been awake enough to look but im guessing if you shorten the arm it should solve the problem

Have the same issue.
I have a 5.0 throttle cable on my ls1 intake. Yet I can only get the throttle to open 50%. Any tips ?

Thanks

Bump. Same problem I am having now only 50% open throttle.

i use bicycle brake cables for pretty much all my swaps. they work fine and can make them as long/short as you want.
