Once the bellhousing was dialed in I installed an 11" McLeod dual friction clutch kit and got right at installing the trans. No cutting to the tunnel is required it fits nice. But its not a direct bolt in Due to the shifter I used the shift porch needs to be cut as well as a small piece at the back left side of the tunnel this is only required to clear the shifter.

Shifter offset from above:


Shifter position in the car:


Shifter porch laying in place ( i cut to much out needs some welding)



Carpet laid in place to see how it would all fit.

If you had purchased from SST you wouldn’t have had to cut the floor at all probably. I just had to make a little clearance in one corner with hammer in my 69. You’ll love that tkx

Living in Canada I purchased from a local supplier, This was to cut out the excessive shipping and if I had any problems down the road easy to deal with warranty etc. The shifter installed is the same one Modern drivetrain sells with there kits its made by https://redrobertsinc.com/ I would consider what I had to do a bolt in, But If I had to do it over again I would get the shifter mentioned below just to save a step or two. The trans was installed January 2021 and has about 2000 trouble free miles so far and I love it.
