Holley makes a bolt on one I used on mine but it may not be long enough for your taller mani. You may just have to fab something.

Hello. I cut my kick down tube and found 4 inch metal tube that fit tight inside kick down tube and adjusted the length I needed and welded it together and it is hardly noticeable and works fine. And it retained the factory clips on both ends. You may have to take some of the arch out of the kick down tube to get proper angle but it is very minor.
Hope this helps
