2bbl to 4bbl carb swap

[rlbrooks99]

I have an 1983 3.8 2bbl OMC that is bad and I'm in the process of replacing it with a 4.3. I have a 4.3 4bbl (Rochester 4MV) with a GM intake to use but unfortunately it's from a merc - so the bracket for the throttle linkage is all wrong. None of the manuals I have seen show a picture of the linkage so I don't know what a correct bracket should look like. Does anybody know where I can get the right bracket? Or how to match these 2 up?

Thanks

Fab my own adapter was an option I've been looking at. I was just hoping someone knew of a shortcut.
