3 speed clutch bellcrank help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi All,

I have a 72 c10 Stepside. I removed the L6 250 and installed a SB327 without moving any of the mounts or crossmembers.

my old clutch bellcrank (Zbar) didn't fit, it was too short and it interfered with the headers.

I bought a v8 bell crank from Brothers trucks and it had a bend in it that made it clear the headers just fine but it was too long to go from the engine side to the frame side mount.

Im at the point where I have no idea what to do anymore, I cant find the right application and I would like to go to a th350 or th400 but that means buying a new trans crossmember, driveshaft and so on.

my MAIN goal is to get it running and on the road with the Saginaw 3 speed tranny that I have in it right now. so ANY ANY ANY help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

There are a number of threads on this. A K10 V8 Z-bar assembly should work for you.
