Hello all,

Hoping someone can assist. I'm converting my 390 4-speed car to a 351W and need a clutch equalizer bar (z-bar). This seems to be a specific 1969-only part for the Torino line and doesn't appear to be reproduced. Is there a similar Torino or Mustang z-bar available that will fit (even with modification) this application?

thanks,

Stuart

what have you found out so far, is the 390 Z bar too long or too short?

The 390 setup won't work at all with a 351W, different dimensions and mounting points between the engine and frame. I was fortunate enough to get a complete setup from Perogie Enteprises.
