Using A-body clutch fork in e-body

[ChadH]

Hi guys/gals. Putting together a 72 Challenger 340 and trying to sort out the transmission linkage. With the help of Brewers I have determined I have an a-body fork pivot in the bell-housing. I have both A and E forks, and think I have the right z-bar from what I see on their site. When I put the a-body fork in with the a-body pivot the geometry to the z-bar looks perfect. Straight shot and I could have used a straight adjuster rod in place of the e-body bent rod. But wanting to do it right and worried I would run into issues down the road (exhaust clearance or clutch action) I put what I think is an e-body pivot in the bell and the 10 7/8" long fork and it's a bit off even with the offset adjuster rod. My question is why can't I use the a-body parts which have perfect geometry? What problems will I find later on?

Thanks,
Chad

if everything lines up the fork is locked on the brg & sits properly on the pivot at the same time it should work fine as long as the leverages are correct so the clutch id fully released not dragging & the clutch doesn't over release & touch the clutch fingers

Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured but ended up chickening out and order the right stuff from Brewers to be safe. I was worried about the geometry of the fork throughout its travel in relation to the z-bar. Hope to be done with this mess soon!
