On the linkage you will need:

1. Rod from pedal to zbar
2. zbar
3. Engine ball stud and bracket ( the correct ball stud will be on a bracket that bolts to the bosses in the engine block)
4. The zbar frame support bracket
5. Rod from Zbar to fork (you can fab this out of threaded rod)

The clutch fork is the same. When purchasing these parts make sure it's a factory V8 (VIN starts with CE). A 4 speed or 3 speed clutch linkage will work, 1/2 or 3/4 ton 2wd.

Editors note: I HAVE NOT done this swap but have parted many vehicles and these are my educated assumptions and recollections on this. I would get a second opinion before diving in. However, it is my opinion that unless circumstances dictate otherwise, it is always best to follow what the engineers intended, if for no other reason than easy of maintenance/parts locating down the road. There is nothing worse than inheriting someone's back yard engineering.
