The engine is the part killing my footwell space, notthe trans. The Tranny would be killing seat bracket mounting, and other items like that. We had to lengthen the torque tube to make the transaxle work in the 68 Camaro. Here is what a 6.5" engine setback looks like from the inside:
That is 11" from the roll cage down bar to the engine cowling on the interior. Not much space for a set of pedals.
