Kickdown cable recommendations?

While on this subjectI have a question about throttle pressure linkage, that I guess I could answer myself but, seems like the braintrust on FABO has a fairly good grip on things.

If you have a stock small block w/727 auto. Runs, shifts great. Later you replace the intake with a high rise. The geometry of the throttle pressure (kickdown) linkage will be altered. Why couldn't the throttle pressure linkage be altered to compensate?

There are adjustment features built into the linkage system. (sliding clamps, and threaded rod ends , for example) Or why not use a different slotted rod at the carburetor?
One reason why I ask this is that I'm looking at a car that has an altered
slotted rod to compensate for a different intake. Just wondering why this won't work.
