Default LS7 Swap Running

We got our LS7 swap running this weekend in our '66 Corvette project car. We are using:
Peterson 2 gallon dry sump
Billet pan adaptor to AN-12 oil system
UMI throttle body
BigStuff3 EFI
Walbro in tank pump
Aeromotive filter and regulator

If anyone has a similar swap I have some open issues I need some help with:

1) Who makes a throttle cable or kit for the LSX throttle bodies
2) What to do with the steam line? Connect to overflow tank above the height of the engine?

1) In our Camaro we used the stock 2000 Camaro cable and fabricated a bracket to mount it to the manifold.

2) Ours is connected to a fitting on the radiator below the cap (not the overflow, one below it)

I really wish someone would make and sell a throttle cable bracket for the cable throttlebody.I've looked high and low and nobody seems to be interested in making some sort of kit. SDPC was going to make them but someone stole there prototype at the SEMA show so they quit trying. Anyone out there know of a company that will fab something decent like this? Traver

Yes I was talking about the one for the LS2. I just assumed they would work just as well for the LS7 intake also. I have a picture of the one they made in an earlier post if you do a search. It looks like it was a nice piece. It also came with 2 longer bolts and some spacers(as I was told by Kris who is no longer with SDPC) Maybe we could get a sponsor to make these if there is enough interest? Traver

I made a bracket for an LS2 (with NW throttle body) in about 1 hour using $5 worth of parts from a local hardware store.
