5.0 and block clutch mount Q

[Broncrick]

Got the 435 in, 20 is in w/drivelines, working on the EFI wiring now, getting darn close (r)

But one part of research I missed (or forgot) is the clutch mounting 'ball' bracket to the 5.0 block. No holes exist like the old block. What did you others do? checked a few catalogs, nada... time to fab?

Thanks, Rick-

maybe go hydrolic? what did the 5.0 stangs have for their clutch linkage?

I drilled and tapped the hole in the block. The area behind the flat mounting surface is open so don't worryabout drilling. The area is 1/2 inch thick and mine has held up for 5+years...

I just installed a clutch equalizer bracket from Wild Horses 4x4 it sells for 20 bucks and easy to install.

Karl, I like the simplicity of manual chit

I have one of those 5.0 clutch conversion brackets from WH CLICK HERE (about half way down the page) that I never used if you want it. $10 and it's yours. I bought it and then decided to go hydraulic.

If you are going to be at the meet tomorrow I'll show you what we (Rokcrln and I) did for mine.

I built a little bracket that ties into the tranny bolts and puts a hole where the old blocks had one
