Default Need Pedal Help for shaved Firewall

I am having my firewall completely smoothed out and the factory mount location was cut out where the original pedal bolts to on a 68 camaro. Should I get maybe an eliminator floor mount?

What pedals are you guys running with the fully shaved firewalls? I want everything hidden as much as possible ion the engine bay (think steve rupps firewall)

Thanks guys

It's not worth it.....your pedal assembly is behind the engine for starters and the master cyliner bolts to the pedal assembly bracket. Smooth it from master over and use a different wiper set up. Unless you want to go custom wiring harness, custom column mount, blah blah.

We are in the process of smoothing our firewall on our '70 Nova. We cut the pocket in the corner for the pedal, and plan on using a Lokar pedal assembly or something similar.

There is always a way to make it work.

We have a mustang in our shop right now that we have put a new shelby sc engine in it. It takes up the whole engine compartment. We placed the master and booster under the dash. It is working out great. The only thing we will have on the firewall are three billet tanks.
