    so i'm putting a 302 in my car soon and i need to get a 302 clutch z-bar. i know auto krafters sell them but i want to get some dementions from you guys before so i can try to make one. that way i wont have to spend $130 on a new one. i already figured out how to convert a 200 z-bar into a 250 z-bar. now i want to convert that 250 z-bar into a 302 z-bar. so just post some of the demetions if you could that would be great. thanks alot.

    But doesn't the z-bar hook up on the side of the block?

    Sorry ... but the 250 z-bar is not the same ... If you do a search I have posted pictures of all 3 type of z-bars 170/200, 250 and 302 are all unique ...
