Default LT1 conversion question

I read up on getting a new bracket for the kickdown on the 700r4 tranny but what about the 4+3? what do I need and where can I find it?... for cheap?

I have a 383 Gen II with an LT1 intake I converted to fit. I have not installed it yet because of little questions like this. My original idea was to make a vertical plate and bolt the original throttle and kickdown bracket to it. Elevating the original bracket slightly and try to aproximate the original geometry. I think I can get it all to clear the fuel rail and if the change in geometry is not to much it should still work. I will be watching to see what comes up. I guess if worse came to worse I could do with out the kick down. I have the 4+3 and have used the kickdown once.
