Steven and I did a linkage delete on Jason's 7m. All we did was make a bracket with a hole to bolt to the plenum and u-shaped slot to hold the throttle cable.
The cable ran down under and through the plenum between 5-6 cylinders, and we spun the throttle plate 180 degrees.
Full linkage delete, no welding, no replacing any part. I used a drill and dremel.
