Well, I ordered a short block from reputable builder, making sure he knew that I needed an early 302 block so i would have the clutch ball threaded boss on the left rear of the block. I got my engine, checked that first, and its a late model 5.0 block without the threaded boss. I can make a bracket to support the ball for the Z-bar, but if someone already makes one, I would rather just purchase one so I can get this engine built up. Anyone know if a bracket is available to fit a late model 302 block in a 66 to allow use of the original mechanical Z-bar clutch linkage.
Sometimes one wonders if people listen and read your requirements when ordering parts, and that they are more interested in selling the part than they are in getting you what you want. I do not want to truck freight this engine back. It looks great except for the missing clutch ball boss. Any help appreciated.
