292 ci L6 Conversion in a 1963 Chevy II

Another 292 ci L6 conversion in a 1963 Chevy II that belongs to a friend of mine, who used to be on this forum. I've done a few of these in the past mated to a Powerglide or a TH350, but this one is backed by my old 700R4.

Got any pics of the 700R4 linkage where it attaches to the carb linkage? Was it pretty straight forward hooking it all up or did it get more complicated than a V8/700R4 linkage? I'm considering putting a 2004R into my Camaro.

It was pretty straight forward...I machined the bell crank and fabricated an extension so that they interlock to accommodate the taller block. I then fabricated a TV cable bracket that mounts to the master cylinder. Here are a couple of photos of the TV cable mount.
