Thanks Guys, should be fun....

Greg / no, I just got a tunnel from Brewer's and used about 10 - 3/16 rivets and seam sealer just in case I want to change it back...

Sleepychallenger / no problem , just ask.....

Aussie / yes , their is a slot in the frame rail but I would still put the bellhousing on to get the correct angle..

my biggest prob is gonna be the conversion, as my silver rt is right hand drive, so everything i will have to fabricate, thinking hydraulic clutch conversion , as the old z bar stuff on the rhs is gonna be to hard as the steering box is on the rhs chassis rail,std pedal set up and hump , but im gonna need long arms as the shifter is way over to the left so it will have to be modified as well i think.

  Check out some of the Valiant Z bars, I have seen a couple of V8 manuals floating around. Offically there were no manuals as I tried to buy new Charger V8 Manual back in the mid '70's. I mentioned that I had seen a couple of panel vans which were supposed to be factory.   :2thumbs:

Hey CP,
what is the deal with my clutch pedal hanging up? everything is free and working great except sometimes the last inch of travel gets stuck , if you tap lightly it comes up the rest of the way..

Do you have the over center spring installed on the clutch pedals?

  Ozrt4406 check out Dellow engineering or Castlmaine rod shop for a bellhousing, maybe they can help, I have had many a good discussion Rod Hadfield who I believe may be back there, they are always willing to help.   :2thumbs:

readjust the clutch , you need to make the rod slightly longer so it will over center & return to the top
