Throttle cable for rear engine position?

Need a 16" - 18" throttle cable for rear engine position. 350/350 cable is too long by 3-4 inches....Anybody found an alternative?

You need a throttle cable from a 4x4. The 4x4s had the engine mounted in the rear position from factory. Not sure if they repop the 4x4 specific throttle cable. You might have to find a nice OEM unit for your project.
