Upgrading my engine from 5.7 SBC 2BBL non vortec , to 97 and up vortec. , the 8 bolt manifold just got here today that fits 4bbl carb bc I wanted to upgrade from 2bbl. My question, is how will my throttle cable bracket with my circuit breaker and solenoid mount to the new carb? The bracket slid right over the to bbl mounting studs which are going to be much more narrow than the four BBL. Does it just not and I have to get a new bracket, or do I have to modify something? Appreciate your feedback, just putting together my plan for when my engine gets here, thanks 👍🏽

get the mercruiser 4-barrel bracket or one of the much much much less expensive generic 4-barrel throttle brackets and make up a new bracket to mount the circuit breaker.

Is this it? Part number 805359T
Or is there one that looks like my bracket, but it's wider to fit the four barrel?
