What shifter do you use?Cable or rod ?All but the CF will get burned depending on the headers[fender exit or under chassis]I liked the more flexible blankets w/full coverage.

Mine is an E body w/ a hemi, but should be the same as B body in this situation. I use the carbon fiber CSR shield. Have to hammer the seam flat where the firewall meets the floorpan and have to cut the lugs off the trans case where the factory shift linkage bolts up. It's all snug, but works great. It saved my feet when my 727 exploded in 2008. I have 2.25" primary TTI headers and they fit fine.

an8sec70cuda.... Do you have pictures you can post of the floor seam remodeling required? When I swap to the 727 I will not be pulling the engine, so if it can be done correctly with the trans out then no problem. That is why I posted the pic of the seam,you can see how far back iy is.

When I swap to the 727 I will not be pulling the engine, so if it can be done correctly with the trans out then no problem. Yes you can do it w/ the motor still in the car. I don't have any pics, but you'll see it immediately when you drop the trans. Just hammer it so it's flush w/ the rest of the floor. You can see what it looks like before hammering it flush in Clanton's pic. Rickraw...even if you have a billet drum, you still need some sort of shield or SFI bellhousing to be legal.

HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
