    Nope - hydraulic "pull type" slave cylinder for my clutch. I ran out of room for any kind of stock z-bar when I put the Mustang headers on my Cleveland so I have to work the clutch from behind the fork :)

    Today installed the trans cross member. Couldn't use the 74 double hump. Had to reuse the 6cyl cross member. Installed the v-8 throttle cable, put on the torque converter nuts, installed starter, replaced front bumper & hooked up the v-8 shifter linkage. Getting close to firing it up...Woohoo!!!

    Nothing has gotten done since 1-March-'12, Ive been @ work. Parts have arrived for the I6 to V8 conversion and I have found a 302 and a better C4, I'll get started prepin' the old drive train for "extraction", clean-up the engine compartment, put an all new brake system in the car and a full set of tires on the car. Still got a long way to go!!! "kafrompa"
