429 throttle cable

[Mclinden]

Trying to track down a throttle cable for 71 mustang with a 429. Is it interchangeable with other cars that have the 429? Thanks for your help.

My car is an original H code and I've used the same cable for both 351c and 429. That's not to say Ford doesn't have a different PN for different engine applications, but the H code's cable will work for a 429.

I also used the same 351C cable for my 429 conversion. I did modify the bracket to work better with Quick fuel carb.

I think cable fitment is most affected by intake choice- if you are using a stock or near stock height intake then the 302 or 351C will probably work.

You peeps are the best. You’re as right as rain. I found a bracket off a 460, did a little grinding to clear the ram air air cleaner and presto!! Cable of 351 fit perfectly. Thanks for the guidance.

An original J or C code 429 cable is as rare as hen's teeth today. As I've only had the QJ carburetor on my car's, I'm not sure if the Holley cable setup was the same. As noted above, you will more than likely have to modify one of the other cable/bracket setup's to work for your application.

My 351 to 429 conversation used the same cable but needed to change the bracket because of the height differences.
