There is a small amount of tunnel massaging needed around the rear of the unit but nothing big. I mounted the controller under the dash. You will also need to have your driveshaft shortened or do like I did and have a spare shortened so you can go back if necessary. I am very happy with it with about 1K miles so far.

Hey,Maverick,my email went done yesterday,supposed to up again in a day or so,,sorry. 1970 'Cuda,Lime Light,499 Indy S/R's 10.70's @125,street driven ALOT! 1966 Barracuda 360,now a 5spd,Hemi Orange,Hot Rod Air, New daily driver-2003 Ram 2500 Cummins 5.9 '69 Valiant 2-dr, sleeper!

Can't image that an e-body would need that much massaging. Remember, you can also lower the unit away from the floorpan with a slight modification to the tranny crossmember...
