Hey dirty, I noticed in another thread that you used a body lift. Did you lengthen the rod that connects the clutch pedal to the Zbar? I have been running an implanted 460 for years in a truck with a body lift and all I did was lengthen the rod mentioned earlier, no problems.

havi is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
My first guess is what 4x4lugnut said, and some flywheel notching may be necessary on the bellhousing, too, IIRC.

I did add to the linkage,and I initially adjusted till I came into slight tension on the fork,then I would adjust in 3/8 increments,start it up,and see if I could shift each time.Pressure plate is not hung up on bellhousing,motor starts and runs fine,I just cant seem to get clutch from pressure plate.
