TR6060 fit in 69 ?

[69dragracer]

If it is any help, I ordered a driveshaft from The Driveshaft Shop for my LS2/TR6060 swap I'm doing in a 68 camaro. Cost was $749. I also used the custom offset shifter setup from McLeod, couldn't use stock tr6060 shifter due to fitment and location.

Dragracer, So apart from a hole for the shifter n supposedly a bitcof panel beating around the bottom if the firewall does it fit in yours without cutting the tunnel, up '???????

I did not have to cut the tunnel any for it to fit, just had to do some clearancing near the front of the tunnel near the firewall seam. I did shorten my frame stands to lower the engine in the subframe and also used CPP adjustable plates to adjust the engine position. I would have liked to go lower on the engine to improve drivetrain angle, but had to compromise due my dynatech headers hanging so low.

If I was to do it over I would use the speedtech tunnel piece just to make fitment even easier.

We dont have that luxury here, as cutting the Tranny tunnel would need an engineers report to register the car.
I need to be sure it'll fit without cutting it up...
