Ok... here is the rundown..
I am swapping a 351w into my truck and putting ford fuel injection on using a lightning lower and a explorer upper. I have an AOD and mount the TV cable using a stock mustang bracket mounted to the throttle body.
The 351w has tall valve covers on it because it has roller tip lifters... not sure about the lift on the cam, but it is pretty mild "RV cam".
I already had to do some mods to make things fit with the taller covers but hit one item I cant seem to figure out.. the throttle/tv cable lever.
I have the bracket mounted after some light trimming around the TV mount, but the TV cable has that big block that hangs off the bottom of the TB lever where you adjust it. There isnt enough room for the cable to be mounted to the lever.
I cant be the first person to run Ford EFI on a 351w that has had some valve work requiring taller covers...
I already have a 2" body lift so the hood closes as is. I do have a phenolic spacer but dont have the hood clearance for the raised upper.
My options I see are:
Suggestions? Solutions?
Thanks guys!!

My options I see are:
- Try stock height covers w/thick (0.3") gaskets
- Fiberglass hood w/scoop or add a scoop to mine (cant really afford that)
- add another inch to the body lift (but then it wont fit in the garage, yes.. that tight)
- some other TV cable/bracket/lever setup I dont know about
Suggestions? Solutions?
Thanks guys!!
