Who here put a 2.3T in a Mustang II ?

Any chance you could just make a short adapter bracket to attach the cable to the linkage? When I put in my new engine (with a '95 GT TB) I had a problem similar to yours except that my cable was too long. I cut a short piece of steel bar stock, maybe 1 1/2"-2" long, and attached one end to the throttle linkage, with the other end having a small bolt that I ground the head of down to a ball. It works great, I get full throttle and I haven't had any problems with it. I had pics up in a thread about a month or two ago but I can't remember what the thread was called, I'm pretty sure it was specifically about installing the 60mm throttle body though. I also can't remember if I have pics of it on my cardomain page or not
