Early A (65 Barracuda) with later 4 speed & bellhousing

64 barracuda 273 original 4-speed car , 340 swap many years ago , homemade bracket to relocate the z-bar ball mount from the 9.5" to the 10.5 has always worked good . For you hydraulic is probably the way to go as I had all my original linkage plus with the linkage exhaust can be a little tricky.
