First thing you need to do is measure your cable and figure out how much longer you need it. Then read this article on Throttle Cables that AndyF wrote and figure out which one you need. Then call your local Dealer and order one up. As far as the springs, your local dealer may have those in stock too.

BTW, I'm not entirely certain that you'll need a different cable. The 318 and 360 are fairly identical in length and the 4 BBL will at most move the linkage towards the firewall if any. If you change intakes, then things start to change a little.

I sell repro throttle return springs and so does Hoffmans Winners Circle as well as YO and others. Not that hard of a thing to find. You can also find NOS ones from the usual NOS dealers.
