Lokar 24" Throttle Cable for Ford MOD Engine 4.6L/5.4L V8 Throttle Body

The Lokar 24" Throttle Cable for Ford Modular Engine 4.6L / 5.4L V8 Throttle Body is a high-performance cable solution engineered specifically for Ford cable-operated Modular V8 engines. Featuring Lokar’s signature "U-Cut-to-Fit" design, it allows builders to trim the exact outer housing and inner wire length required when swapping or detailing 4.6L and 5.4L engines in custom street rods, hot rods, classic Fords, and trucks.

Engine Application & Compatibility

This kit features engine-side linkage hardware designed specifically to connect cleanly to Ford Modular V8 throttle bodies:

• Ford 4.6L V8 (2V & 4V): 1996–2004 Mustang GT, SVT Cobra, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car running cable-driven throttle bodies.

• Ford 5.4L V8 (2V & 4V): F-100 / F-150 pickups, Expedition, Econoline vans, and SVT Lightning setups utilizing mechanical throttle linkage.

• Modular Engine Swaps: Ideal for retrofitting 4.6L / 5.4L Modular engines into early Fords (Mustangs, Falcons, Fairlanes, C-10s/F-100s) without long, unsightly OEM plastic cable loops.

Product Overview & Performance

Stock Ford factory cables for Modular engines are rigid, bulky, and difficult to route neatly in custom engine bays.

Lokar solves this by enclosing a high-tensile stainless steel inner cable inside an extruded PTFE (Teflon) liner. This low-friction sleeve prevents binding through tight bends, resists high engine bay heat, and ensures crisp, responsive throttle return. Custom aluminum ferrules clamp tightly over the trimmed inner wire ends to prevent fraying during setup or adjustment.

Housing & Finish Configurations

Lokar offers three distinct outer housing options paired with color-matched hardware:

• Braided Stainless Steel: Features a classic high-shine stainless steel braid with natural brushed or polished aluminum fittings.

• Hi-Tech Black Stainless Steel: Features a sleek black braided stainless steel sheath fitted with black anodized aluminum hardware.

• Universal Black: Features a durable black polyethylene outer housing paired with clean aluminum fittings for an OEM-style finish.

Key Features & Design Highlights

• "U-Cut-To-Fit" 24" Sizing: Outer housing and inner wire trim easily to match custom firewall-to-throttle-body distances.

• Modular Engine Connection: Connects directly to the 4.6L / 5.4L throttle body linkage cam without slop, drag, or bind.

• Friction-Reducing PTFE Liner: High-density PTFE sleeve prevents internal wire drag and binding over time.

• Anti-Fray Aluminum Ferrules: Precision aluminum ferrules lock around cut inner wire strands to prevent unraveling.

• Cotter-Free Clevis Design: Clean clevis attachment eliminates set screws and cotter pins at pedal and engine connections.

• Universal Pedal Adaptability: Hooks up seamlessly to OEM factory gas pedals or Lokar aftermarket billet foot pedal assemblies.

• American-Made Quality: Hand-assembled in the USA and backed by Lokar's Lifetime Warranty.
