On this car, we cut and raised almost 2 inches.
With a different set of motor mounts, positioning the engine higher/lower and further forward or back, it could all change.
Sorry to be so non-committal, but it's just a tough question to answer unfortunately, and very combination specific.

Bryan, I get what you are saying and I know lots of different variables go into each car, I was just thinking like with A-body's you have to mod the floor. So I thought I would ask to see if I would get the no matter what you are using you have to answer!

My drivetrain angle is at 2.5* and when researching my install I found numerous "similar" cars that didn't any tunnel mods and numerous that need more than mine. I'm guessing there was a pretty generous tolerance when stamping the factory floor pan.
If I had planned on not using a console I would have cut the top off the tunnel and installed a section that was wider and flatter and incorporated an e-brake (Bat-turn) handle.

So what are you telling me now you can't commit
