The throttle linkage will be kinda half from a fi car and it will go to a cable that will operate the TWM throttle bodies. The booster is from a p1800 and is actually smalled in diameter than the 140 one. Doing this conversion is tough. If you stand up the motor, you won't have room for the power break booster. If you slant the motor like it is intended (like in this picture) you have to modify your oil pan, notch and reinforce the front right frame rail to clear the exhaust. Then you have to come up with some sort of intake that will clear the brake booster. In this case it will be duel throttle bodies mounted to side-draught manifolds that my friend made himself. Pluss there is also the alternator mounting space problem that the ideler arm clears by milimeters, on and on.
