I6 to SBC zbar won’t fit???

[Keystone_Hate]

My 72 was originally an I6 and I just installed an SBC in the I6 position. I did my research for the clutch linkage and thought I had it nailed down. When I tried to install the zbar today it just didn’t fit. I have the ball stud threaded into the forward hole in the block and it is straight across from the frame side mount for the zbar so I know I’m good there. The issue is that zbar won’t slide on to the ball stud because it’s hitting the frame side mount. It’s at to great of an angle to get over the ballstud and drop the frame side down in the slot. I tried putting the ball stud into the zbar and putting it in but there’s not enough room to tighten the ball stud into the block. I need some help here. I attached some pics to show how close it is.
