Re: clutch linkage coming up short...help!
When I went with a Centerforce II clutch on the SM465 behind a V8 350 in my '71 GMC Jimmy [K/5], for some reason -- I think it was easier than pulling the whole engine,transfer case and transmission again just to put in a different throw-out bearing -- I had a welder attach a threaded section of a '73-later GM clutch pushrod onto my old '71 pushrod. He used a 3" section of 9mm submachinegun barrel, he claimed, for a splice over the butt weld of the 2 rods.
I also joggled the "ears" of the Z-bar to clear the headers.
Still working 10 years later.
