Lokar or Control Cables Inc. I am running a Trmec so I only needed throttle.. You may also want a Aftermarket pedal as you may need more throw.

Lokar has throttle, kickdown and required bracket. Pricey, but makes it simple. About $200 for everything.

I'm about to install the XT on my 440, what length LOKAR cables (throttle/kickdown) did you use?

This pic shows the 4150 version of the Pro Flo 4, did you have hood clearance? Without making a scoop/bulge?

I used trans kickdown: KD2727HT Throttle: TC-1000LS148 Kickdown Bracket: TCB-40EDXT Plenty of room with the flat Charger hood.
Here's a couple engine pics:

I used a 48 inch Control Cables throttle Cable.. I used the Lokar setup on another car with an Automatic.. Worked real nice .

Dennis has the Power Bulge Hood.. I installed the 4150 style on a 70 Coronet and it cleared with a drop base air cleaner and a 3 inch Filter.

Wow, thnx for the quick reply! Great news on the hood clearance, that's my biggest concern cuz I love the stock Charger hood man. What did you use for coolant temp? Can I just piggy back off of the stock sending unit?

You got a couple of options.. 1) Aluminum water pump housing, it has 2 temp sensor places.. 2) Dakota Digital with a can bus adapter from the Pro-Flo..

What Durwood said. I had to go with the newer aluminum water pump housing from 440 Source to use the CFV serpentine system. Stay away from the cheapie Ebay ones, ask me how I know lol. It had the second hole. I did move the factory temp sensor to the secondary hole because of hole size.

I want to go with a Eddie's Motorsports Serpentine kit.. I have the SD Concepts kit and it gets in the way of the air intake..
 
The only issue is, you are going to run a air intake hose right over top of that.... Plus, another surface to seal..
Your pro-flow will give you temp read outs on the Tablet.. I would use that or maybe a can bus gauge cluster like the one from Banks.
 
I had to got with an upper outlet with a 60 degree angle on it. It clears the air intake and lines up with the upper radiator hose fitting.

Not to hijack this thread fellas but would anyone know if the runners on the edelbrock XT4 could be taken out to a max wedge port size???? I’m looking at a set of Trickflow 270 heads and already have this manifold

Nope. I would not recommend that as I have the manifold and max wedge gaskets to test with. Gonna take a lot of manifold welding. Use the 240 heads.
