I am finishing up my engine swap and am wondering if there is a cleaner way of operating the throttle on this thing. It as a W126 chassis with an auto tranny. I have seen some cable conversions but I don't think they account for the kickdown cable. Anyone know of anything that can be done here? I am not running cruise and have eliminated all the vacuum lines.

The kick down is electric, no cable.

You may be referring to the Bowden cable, this tells the transmission when to shift to the next gear.

Engine from/to a 126?

Ahh, I have a little to learn. From a 126 to a 126 . I swapped an SEC.

.

617a?

you can go electric but you are adding like 5 another possible points of failure

straighten,grease and adjust linkage and you will be fine...

cheers

Yes, 617a. I don't dispute the functionality of the current linkage, I would just like to clean it up a bit. I have already gone through a bit making the engine bay as sparse as possible, so it would be nice to streamline the throttle.
