10.5" bellhousing in early A

I had no clearance issues with the pinch weld when I did mine. (64 Barracuda) I did mine before I knew about Brewers kit. I used a Z-bar from an A-body and shortened the cross shaft. Used the release lever from a B-body (11-7/8 OAL) with the fork pivot from the 273 bellhousing. I modified the z-bar bellhousing pivot to relocate the pivot ball on the bellhousing so it is directly across from the frame ball by welding it to a triangle piece of steel. It would have been really nice to get what I needed in kit form.
