The factory throttle cable is pretty much at it limits with the mostly stock configuration as shown in my photos. Adding several inches to the manifold height could push it beyond its boundaries. In an effort to get the correct length of throttle cable for your setup perhaps add a pair of coupling nuts and threaded rod to lengthen the cable temporally to get the proper dimensions and then have a custom one made.
