Help needed. My 4 speed conversion is underway.

Help needed. My 4 speed conversion is underway. - 04/01/11 03:34 AM

So I have a friend coming over to weld in my 4 speed hump and I need to know if there is more things that need welding for this conversion. I have the ball stud bracket on order, but is there anything else I need to have welded to convert this challenger from and auto to a manual?

Frame bracket and floor tunnel are the only pieces that have to be welded. The 2 stud bracket through the cowl was spot welded from the factory. This eased assembly, but not required.

That's one 4 speed conversion I haven't done, but I think the ball stud mount and the hump are the only parts that require welding. Have fun and good luck.

installing a console, you'll need console brackets welded also

Thanks for the replies. Dayclona, is it the same brackets that the auto's use?

I'm hoping to do a conversion too, one of these days. I have everything except the bracket that mounts on the frame rail.

Good luck with your conversion. I saved this from this site, maybe it'll help you if you don't already have it.

Gary -

Do you have a larger pic of this?

No, that's all there was, not my picture. I know what your thinking. side to side will be easy to fiqure once you get it in place.

Scott,
I assume you are converting an e-body? I believe the hump will only "fit" the contours of the floor pan in one location. Once you find the spot, trace a line around the outside of the hump and cut the floor about an inch inside the line. Watch out for the stuff below when you are cutting.

Thanks Gary.

Tom, yes a Challenger and I will check it out this weekend. I still have to get rid of the slapstick stuff to set the 4 speed hump in place.
