The threaded hole for the ball is farther forward and higher on the lakewood bellhousing.  It came out of a 69 chevelle.  I'm guessing the had different orientation.  I think I'm gonna weld a piece to the bellhousing bracket and drill and tap it in the proper location

I would suggest you mockup the Zbar on the frame side, and connect everything, then bullseye where the engine side ball stud would go. Drill and tap the hole.

That is the plan. There is just no metal where it should be. Got to add a piece

Use could use the existing holes and the boss near the oil filter to make a bracket.

Just an update.  Headers are on. All new tierods, idler arm and pitman arm. Converted over to powersteering, purchased a rebuilt Cardone steering box and new lines
