The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Z Bar Pivot Ball Threaded in Block: Is there a bracket for 4x4 SBC?

igrout · 10-04-2017, 09:44 AM

Hello All,

I'm collecting parts / research for a SM465 4 speed swap into my 1972 Blazer 350 4x4.

I noticed that my engine block does not have the threaded hole for the Pivot Ball (on the block side of the Z Bar).

I know that I could drill / tap a hole in there, but there are things in the way that would make it difficult to get the hole straight while the engine is in the truck.

Is there a store bought bracket that could mount the pivot ball (on the block side) that would use different holes to mount it? I know I have seen brackets like this in the Summit catalog but I don't know if they would work with the engine location in the 4x4 blazer. Thanks!
