Every time I do stuff like this - I become more and more impressed with the engineers at the big auto makers... imagine that they get so much stuff right - and then they make millions of 'em.
Don't ya just love "custom" stuff!? LOL
Of course - in many cases - they're working with "known" parts and dimensions... but it's still impressive.
I fit the tranny in the 55 - by installing it all in the chassis (AME) and then slicing the tunnel fore and aft - and side to side in a couple places... dropped the body (using my lift) and lifted back my "pieces" of tunnel until I liked the look and the clearance - tacked a couple of holders in place - and then made fill pieces... LOL
You may find it easier to install your tranny already connected to the motor and put motor and trans combo all in at one time.
