My 71 Duster Project

Here are some pictures of the z-bar frame rail mount welding project. I got the tranny up to make sure everything lines up. It looks pretty good to me. The only thing I am not sure about is how high or low the tranny bellhousing goes, but according to the measurements for the bracket that you guys provided me in the 4 speed forum I should be good. I also fit checked the shifter while the tranny was in and I noticed that the linkage hits the crossmember so I broke out the shifter that came out of the car originally and noticed that they both have different linkage hookups on the bottoms of the shifter. That brings my next question on whether those are the correct A-body shifters or not. I will have to jump back over to the 4 speed forum and do some research on that one. I know those rods were for the B/E tailshaft setup so hopefully the combo of new A-body rods and the shifter will make things align properly. Other than that, I got the clutch rod firewall hole all welded up and fit checked the boot. Its coming along!
