Help!!! Mechanical clutch for 6.2L?

[Firearmfiend]

First off, I'm converting my truck to diesel...

OK, I've got my 6.5L (6.2 block bored up) and when I pulled the old 350 I noticed that the z-bar for the clutch mounts up to the block as well as the frame (truck came from the factory w/ the 3 on the tree). I'm converting to an SM420 (had it in the shop) and the new motor doesn't have the mounting holes or even bosses for the holes to mount the z-bar. In fact, where the z-bar would mount (if I welded on the block) is where the oil cooler ports are. Any ideas? I know that the 85 and up (and possibly earlier) trucks have the hydraulic clutch and I could go that direction but I'd REALLY like to keep the mechanical setup. I was thinking of doing a horizontal a-frame setup to support the z-bar on the engine side and bolting to the frame on both sides of the factory frame mount using 1/8" or 1/4" steel but...?

Thanks ahead for any ideas!
