I was wondering if there is an alternative to the rod setup for a V8. I have to drill a hole for the new accelerator rod as the holes from the I6 won't line up right and I was wondering if there was a cable or something that attached to the gas pedal?
Not sure what you mean about having to drill a new hole. When I converted from I6 to V8, all that was required was swap of pedal rod and throttle rod.
To answer your question though, at the Autorama last year, Ford Racing had a '65 fastback with an EFI 5.0. They used a '69 pedal rod with a FOX type cable. I was going to use that on my own car until I found a '65 V8 pedal rod at the junkyard.
