Heh....What did you do with that clutch ball stud Thing. How about some pic's of that Bracket on the side of the motor..how did you address that??
 
Dennis, Looks like as much fun as a bed full of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. You did a great job. You mentioned earlier that the ram jet didn't have as much top end power as your 502, 3 x 2 set up. The throtle body on the ram jet is on the small side(same size as a 350 cu") for an engine that size. If you went to a larger throtle body it would more than cure the problem. I have a warmed over 502 in my 66 coupe with a 950cfm Holley HP and it still pulls .75 " of vaccuum @ wot so that 502 can move some air. Good luck and again you have a KILLER car. John

Just got done doing some tuning to the car, upped the idle, added some timing, a little fuel pressure, and found out the main problem was a bad TPS sensor. Swapped it out and OMG its running great. Will try and take some more video this afternoon and post it with less music volume. I am just about ready to send it home...

Could not do it without cutting the Z-bar, block has no room for the ball stud or a nut to mount it with. Made my own bracket and cut down the Z-bar.
