With the 351 w engine, has anyone had any issues with the stock,throttle linkage?  I don't have the motor back in car yet, but the linkage just doesn't seem like it has enough movement to get full throttle.  Anyone changed linkage and if so to what, just trying to get small issues resolved before,motor,goes,back in.

I converted to a Lokar throttle cable and transmission linkage. I like because it's a cleaner look and allows for more precise adjustment.

Jim check out the "Ranchero build" thread.  Just put up what I have done with mine, 351C/AOD.  No trans cable yet, but it will not change the throttle hook up.
