454 HO crate engine - 4/1/2006 8:26:24 PM    71yellow454   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/1/2006 Status: offline I just purchased a 454HO crate engine, Gen VI block, for my 71 vette. Its a 4 speed trans. I noticed that there is no place to put the ball stud for the clutch linkage. Does anyone make a bracket to bolt to the block or has anyone made there own to solve this problem? Thanks, Jeff Post #: 1

It is not that difficult a conversion and it is actually a much better clutch linkage, too. _____________________________ 2007 Aston Martin Vantage Prodrive Lincoln MKZ "Grandfather car" ''98 Z28 with iron LS 408, NOS, tricks, street driven mid 9s (sold to my youngest son for $1, Aug 28, ''07) ''02 SCd 427 cid ZO6, 704 RWHP, sold Aug. 28, ''07 (in reply to mech259) Post #: 3
