Gas pedal linkage/cable?

Motor's not in yet, maybe in september. Never hurts to think ahead. Here's a pic. One day I got discouraged with stuff going slow so I bolted the heads etc on just for inspiration. You can see my shop is state of the art, lol. Currently the crank is in, working on reciprocating assembly next.

There will be no mechanical water pump, have yet to decide on what brand of remote electric pump to go with. I like that finned cover stickin out, plus its just a tight squeeze all around. The stock pump is butt ugly. They have a BBC water pump conversion but that's not my cup of tea.

And yes, it'll be a 727, I should have mentioned that. Don't have that yet so need to decide auto/manual shift for that, which might depend on the linkage?

What's wrong with the Lokar kickdown?
