I'm replacing a 305 2 brl in a 1985 Chris Craft scorpion 186 with a 80-86 350 that I'm having rebuilt. It will have vortec heads, comp cam XM262H camshaft. looking at putting a edelbrock rpm air gap 7516 intake and either a edelbrock 1409/10 or a Holley 4150 carb on it. my question is what can I use for the throttle cable bracket, I have one from a mercruiser 230hp quadrajet 4brl or are there aftermarkets avaliable. I saw a nice chrome one bolted to a 1409/10 on a 5.7 on ebay that looks like it would work but have been unable to find it either on the edelbrock or holley website. My hopes is to reuse most of the 305 stuff my understanding is that as long as I stay with the right vintage I will be able to just swap the stuff from one engine to the next. I plan on using the existing alpha 1 outdrive, I believe I have a 1.81 ratio and currently running a 21 pitch prop which i may have to change. any suggestions would be great and appreciated
