Description
When you upgrade your '67-'70 Mustang's FE big block to a high-performance clutch, the stock Z-bar linkage becomes the weak link. Factory equalizer bars and linkage rods were designed for stock clutch pressures - ask them to handle a heavy-duty pressure plate, and they'll flex, bind, or outright fail. The Strong Hold Z-Bar Linkage Kit replaces that fragile factory hardware with a precision-engineered system built to handle serious clutch loads without compromise.
The heart of this kit is a fully TIG welded Z-bar featuring a CNC machined pivot tube and spherical bearings at the pivot points. Where the stock setup relies on simple bushings that wear out and introduce slop, the Strong Hold's spherical bearing mounts eliminate binding throughout the full range of motion and provide rock-solid stability under load. The result is a consistent, predictable clutch feel whether you're rowing through gears at the track or cruising on the street.
Both upper and lower linkage rods feature Teflon-lined spherical rod ends and are fully adjustable, allowing you to dial in precise clutch engagement and compensate for variations in bellhousing depth or throwout bearing height. The heavy-duty construction handles the demands of high-clamp-load pressure plates without the flex that plagues stock linkage. This kit is specifically configured for the small fork end, matching '67-'70 Mustangs running 390 or 427 FE engines with small-input Toploaders.
Installation uses all factory Ford mounting locations and pivot points - no cutting, drilling, or welding required. You get OEM-style fitment with race-proven durability. Made in the USA.
