Centre Link V8 vs. Slant six

[Brad426]

Here is the centre link out of my 1969 Valiant Six-Oh-Matic. I'm installing a 408 Stroker via Schumacher mounts for the 5.9 Magnum block. From what I have read there is a differance in the centre links between the 6 and eight cylinder engines. Based on that I'm assuming this is a V8 centre link. Am I right?rayer:

The center links are all the same drop type from 67 model and up.

Well, close. There were two center links from 67-up (67-72 and 73-76), but there was no longer a difference between what came on a slant car and a V8 car. The difference is in the direction of the idler and pitman arm studs and the amount of drop needed on the link to clear all engines.

OK? What does this one look like or does it matter in my case?

I thought I answered his question. He didn't say he was changing the suspension, just the engine.
Brad426 I that's the one that cane stock on your car , that's the one you need.

Yes as far as I know that is the original centre link. Great that that is correct. Thank you.
