Now that's what I call a trans tunnel!

Looks like you left juuuuuust enough legroom for someone like this though..

lol.. Its called "Big toe racing!" There's 12 inches between the roll cage and the transmission tunnel, just enough space for the pedal box im getting.

Or get hand controls. Had a buddy that needed those. Didn't take long to get used to driving with it.

After painting and insulating the trans tunnel I ran into another problem. i am planning on running individual carburetors and when i put the engine back in i noticed that there is only about 3 inches of space between the trans tunnel and the intake on the rear 2 cylinders. now it looks like i have to cut something i just finished... again

I bet there was some real colorful language spouting out of your mouth when you figured that out about the rear intakes.

no joke, I was about 2 seconds away from "massaging" the tunnel with sledge hammer to make some room

I hear you. I'm sure the temptation is real strong right about now.

Modified the shifter today. The transmission is a M5R2 which is a version of the M5OD transmission that used a special wedge bolt thing to connect the shift lever to the transmission (Stupid idea). So by welding a plate to the top if the shifter and drilling 2 holes I can now just bolt the shift lever on with normal bolts. now i gotta wait until the seat is mounted before making the custom shift lever.

Used the stock shift lever with the amazon shift knob from the donor f150 and cut it down a few inches. I just ball parked the angle but it should be reachable when the seat is installed.
