A500 Trans in an E or B body? - 06/03/11 02:28 AM
Anyone done one and put it into one of those bodies? Looking for floor mods that have to be done with pics.

What year b-body? I just did an A518 in my 78 Fury, and there were NO floor modifications necessary.

There were no floor mods needed when I put one in my D100. The only mod I needed was the trans mount crosmember got customized.
And yes, the JW housing need the start hole for the nose fitted up before install....Ask me how I know. They should have fixed that after they had them out for a month or two. I know I called them on it.

a friend of mine put an EFI 5.2 magnum and A500 in a 72 Dart last summer.
He had to cut most of the upper crossmember out of it. Then re-inforced it with a 1/4" steel plate.
I know he modified the lower crossmember, but I don't think it was that much

71 up B and all E body can be done by trimming the trans if needed.
I am pretty sure 70 and older B bodies are the same since the E body was built off the B body chasis.
A bodies need mods to the floor pan.
