looking at your throttle cable linkage, depending on the setup on the carb itself, you may need to modify the bracket that holds the throttle cable. to get the correct geometry, i ended up taking that stock (repop) bracket and cutting it and inserting a 1" or so piece to raise the hold down higher up.
I had noticed that the cable was going to be tight and bound up. Hadn't really given it much more thought til you said this.... Guess I'll see what happens????
After further investigation... It's gonna work just fine.

Just a quick update.... My Passon overdrive 4 speed has been shipped, so I should know very soon how these mounts are gonna line everything up...Or not?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Lol Also, I had to swap out the cast valve covers. They were WAY too close to passenger shock tower, so i went with a set of stock repops. My Glen-Ray 956 radiator came in, and it's very NICE. I'll post pics this weekend of progress so far.

Well, I've made her road worthy.... Just have to get the A/F issues figured out. Thanks to Sheldon for the ballpark setup on jets and metering rods. Just have to get those dialed in. I have some light load, and part throttle lean stumbling issues. Gonna go with stiffer springs and smaller metering rods to try and cure the lean conditions. Timing is at 18* initial and 14* mechanical all in by 3100 RPM to prevent pinging on the street... Wish me luck Again, this is my first hemi experience....

Glad to hear it's running, it sounds lean all right. What colour top is on this car? I was looking at an FJ5, 4 speed U-code RT/SE near me a week ago that I was tempted to Hemi-up it had white roof and stripes, kind of a coincidence.
