Blueghost. With my custom gasser type front clip I've actually dropped my engine/trans combo down a little so I have more room than a stock Catalina and in this shot you can see the clearence.
you can see I have some room. That is part of why it is so tall, to get the shifter back up high enough with using the old bench seat. I can still cut out the floor, but if it is a problem I can still cut down the mount. It's nice to have options. Mark L
