We're in the process of switching from a FE to a 302 in a 68 coupe, and was wondering how the z-bar hooks up? On the FE there's a spot to mount the z-bar, and there isn't on the 302. Input and pics are highly appreciated.

Email if needed: jenglish@qigage.com

Thanks

 

What year is the 302 block?
Ford, in their infinite wisdom quit putting the mount for a Z-bar on the block after 1981.
There are aftermarket brackets available that solve this issue fortunately.

 

I believe the block is an 84. That sucks!! Jegs or Summit have the adaptor?

 

Can't find an adaptor at Jegs or Summit!! Anyone have a suggestion?

 

Hydraulic. Easier on the knees as well.

 

This is my brothers car, and he just had twins, so that type of swap is not an option.

They carry it as part # # MD-401-2019
$59

 

Is there a Hydraulic conversion kit for a toploader?

 

The transmission doesn't care what linkage you use, lol

 

Mustangs Unlimited also sells the bracket.
