I put the torque arm in and most of you won't do that so you will save some floor fabrication but you will have to make some room and modify the back seat wire frame if you plan on having one.

The exhaust is something that you will find is better going under the rear for a bunch of reasons. the biggest is how easy it can be to remove the whole exhaust in one piece which can really be handy when you go to remove your trans.

I wish you guy's a lot of patience and understanding cause you will find that it is a lot of work!!!

you got that right Jim, its a lot of work to do it right.

guys, try to get in touch with Edward Benard, (formally of 21st century machines) he was the closest to getting an IRS in a car without major modification or fabrication. last heard the job went for $20k.

Paul and Kyle Newman put a C4 rear in their '55 and last I heard were working on a set up for 1st gen Camaro's. May want to try them also.
