Re: Z bar mount question

I got everything I needed from the Parts Board. I had to do a little custom fabricating as well.

V8 and L6 Zbars are not the same.

Re: Z bar mount question

Just did this one last winter on the green 68 , left the v8 in the 6cyl spot , used the 6 cyl z bar , screwed a clutch ball in the block on my 283 , and never looked at it again. very easy.

Re: Z bar mount question

Just swapped out my 250 for a 350. Original z-bar works great. Not sure if there's a difference, but the 6 cyl z-bar does work
