For your 3800sc swap, what bracket did you buy or fabricate for throttle cable and automatic transmission shift cable?

I used the factory throttle cable and stock 3800 bracket and just opened up the slot so that the larger fiero cable would fit.

northstar TB's work with stock V6 throttle cables. Stock 3800 TB's work with 4cyl throttle cables. If your using a V6 cable on a 3800TB, I just welded on a little hunk of steel to hold it, wasnt pretty, but he didnt care.

Auto linkage is easy. Cut the 45 degree angle pie piece out of the base of it, and bend it over like you see here.

Hmmm. I haven't gotten my engine dropped to start this install yet, but this seems simple. I can't imagine why WCF charges so much...

Because they can? It "works" and looks like its worth $150, so why not charge it.

Same reason that gas stations charge what they do... Because they can...

Anyone else have some pictures of what they did?
