need help for a clutch assembly

[sickchevy68cst]

well heres the problem i ordered a mcleod hydraulic clutch unit (nice unit) with throwout bearing and slave cylinder.. where the stock clutch is mounted i have to cut into wat looks like the steering column support braces on the firewall. i still have the clutch bar from the pedal down the zbar but thats it. i just did a motor swap from a tired 350 to a 73-76 454 but the 454 still has the bolt holes for a zbar mount should i drill into the brace or pull out my trans and put the mechanical back in it.. and if i do put the mechanical back in where do i get a whole lower clutch assembly

any help would be very thankful

I am in the same boat you are...I need the whole lower clutch assembly too.. well mainly the z-bar, the rest can be easily done.
i decided to go with mechanical, but now i am thinking i want hyro..
so i guess i am encouraging you to keep the hydro set-up.

yea well im kinda stuck here cuz i need to know which headers to get for zbar opening or fab up my own cuz i dont think full lenghts would fit in between the beast and the rails
