I mocked up the trans to the X-member to ensure the shifter would protrude thru the new tunnel hump opening which is pre-cut and drilled for the trim ring/boot.
From experience, I always suggest you cut the basic shape for a 4 spd hump into the floor, mock up just the bellhousing,trans, and crossmember, obtain the approx. driveline angle your looking for, then trim any additional floor needed for clearance, then tack in the hump for a desired fit/clearance, then remove the transmission mock up, and finish off the floor mods....you'll thank yourself later for doing it that way.

Thanks Belvedere! I ordered the Kit in March 2013,,,I finally received it in Oct.2013. I think the current E-Body orders will be filled quickly but ask Keisler to make sure!! When I ordered mine the E-Body units were still being developed and corrections implemented due to problems with the B-Body units. The Kit consisted of the SS 700 Trans, The Keisler Alloy Bellhousing, 9.5" RAM Twin disc Clutch with aluminum Flywheel. Clutch/Brake pedal assembly, Pistol Grip Shifter, Hydraulic Clutch actuator assembly,(Slave cylinder), Crossmember, 1350 Driveshaft. Cost was $6,353,(Total includes shipping and Taxes). I paid for it in full in March, although Keisler asked for 1/2 payment, I went ahead and paid for it all. You will need a Machinist dial indicator, not the plunger type,,but a dial back type as used on Milling Machines for set-up,,0-15-0. Here is a pic. The indicator probe should be perpendicular to the face of the bellhousing's flange, then zeroed. The instructions state this clearly. This probe will cost you approx. 50-100 depending on the brand you choose. I like Starrett or Mitutoyo but they are pricey. You will also need a tool to remove the block dowel pins, I made my own,,but you can get one for 50-100 also. An old set of stamped steel,(Cast is difficult to weld) Vise grips, welder, and a slide hammer is what I used. An angle gauge is required to determine driveline angle, a cheap plastic protractor can be used. Hope this helps,,thanks again,,Eddie

So Far, so good.Dialed in the Bellhousing, I needed a .014 offset Dowel Pin to get < or = to .005(TIR) .010 Indicated ,, after that was accomplished, I mounted the RAM Twin Disc clutch, then the LGT. The SDC Serpentine Belt drive from Jerry and the TTI Headers should be here in a few weeks, then the body drop! Happy Thanksgiving&Merry Christmas 
Be sure to check that the face of the rear of the bellhousing is parallel with the crank flange, assuming there's no run-out there. I had to shim between my scattershield and block to get them parallel there. I'm guessing the back of the block was square, but the scattershield had some run-out which took it a few thousandths out of parallel. I used shims next to and on either side to bolts behind the main bolt that hold on the scatter shield between the block saver plate and the block. Many folks never check this, but it is important!
Also, how much power is that motor going to put out at what RPM with no scatter shield? Yikes!! Or, is that bellhousing SFI rated as explosion proof. Just a concern after seeing pictures of what an exploding flywheel and clutch can do to a car and a person.

Looks good. My SS(LGT)-700 is working good now, Hammered pretty good on it last week at the track, but my reverse light switch quit working...
You have a thread on your whole experience w/this trans?
Like x-member hacking, etc.?
