after years of driving around with the incorrect early bar on my '71 sideshift conversion, i've sourced the correct late bar (with the holes for cables & shift rod - i'll be sure not to install it reversed!).
i'm planning to back her up onto ramps and supporting the engine on at least a couple stands. provided i do that well, any reason i couldn't replace that cross bar without disturbing parts other than the rear shift rod and clutch cable? i seem to recal that flipping the washers on the bar to body mounts might stiffen things up a bit. is that correct or should i just replace those? long term plan was to change to sbc but, that's a long way off... |

I might add that the brackets are '73'76 model year 914 ONLY. Buse equivalents don't work. Not even close. I have a couple of the outboard brackets I can spare. Used. New, too
Maybe the engine ones, too. I'll look. PM me. The Cap'n |
