Clutch linkage

Clutch linkage
I have a roller block ('87) I plan to put in my '66 which is a stick. I have noticed there isn't a place on the block to bolt the manual linkage to. Am I stuck putting a cable clutch on or is there a spot on the block that can be drilled for it?

RE: Clutch linkage
IMHO you have three options: make a mounting bracket as was mentioned, go with a cable (assuming you are running a T5) or go with a hydraulic set up. I am a personal fan of going hydraulic because you can reduce clutch effort and it is far easier to run hydraulic lines than it is to run a cable or work around clutch linkage.

I might look into making a bracket, but I might have to go to a cable system since I will be using some shortie headers on this block. Just by eyeballing the placement of where the z bar needs to be it could interfere with where the headers are. The hydraulic system sounds nice, but not on my pocket book at the moment with all the other stuff I have to do to this car.

I'm running a McLeod unit, the salve and tob are a 1 piece setup that slips on the front of the trans, with a Wilwood master cylinder. It's a pain to initially adjust, but once it's in it's self adjusting and basically requires little to no maintenence. But if you don't adjust it right the first time you have to pull the trans to reset it. It works very well though

RE: Clutch linkage
One concern about hydraulic clutches is reliability. I've race prepped many off road cars and most had hydraulic installed or were retro-fitted to hydraulic. None failed, nobody complained and no-one changed back.
