I have quick question! should I install engine and hook up clutch linkage before I install master cylinder and brake booster?

 

Clutch linkage is easy to install from under the car.

 

thank you for the info!

 

Put the booster on before the engine goes in, or you will have a hard time getting to the inside bolts, especially the bottom one.

 

Ok, that sounds like a great Idea. should I put the Z Bar on the ball first when installing engine or will I be able to do that after engine is in with out a problem? I have not installed an engine and four speed in about 40 years!

 

If you have headers, yes, put on together with the headers. If you have stock exhaust, I would think so, no problem to do after engine is in. That's the way it was on my 70, but probley the same for 67.

 

The Z bar is easy to install afterwards. (I do no use headers) Look for wear on the associated components. Now is the time to repair those items, to repack the grease and to put in a simple Z bar rebuild kit. Make sure that you adjust the free pedal play to spec while you are reinstalling the adjuster anyway.

 

Yes I have headers from Mondello Performance! are you saying that the header is attached or loose at installation and if attached, should both headers be on the engine?

 

No —I am saying that I can put a z bar in leaning over the drivers side fender without even looking but I use manifolds. I cannot say regarding a 67 with headers. Another member will need to jump in for that advice.

 

ok thanks for reply

 

is that with header loose or attached and if so should both headers be on when I install the engine?

 

Most headers can not be put on first, and installed with engine. Will probably have to put them on, after engine installed.

 

so then I put the header and Z bar on at the same time is what you meant? it is amazing me how some one (I) can miss interpret what some one says!!

 

When you put the header on the driver side. Place it in place, to where it goes on the head, you can put on the front bolt to hold it from falling, then take the Z bar, and stick it through the header tubes, you just have to have the header loose enought so you can move the header so you can get the bar in. If you bolt it in place, you can't move it any, if needed to get it in. This is what is needed to get it in on a 70, Maybe 67, has more room? Also maybe different brand headers, may have more room, than some?

 

Got it. thanks for info! I had to lift the engine on the drivers side of my1965 Mustang to put headers on it and it is has a Automatic Trans.

 

You may have to lift this one also?

 

thanks for the heads up!
