Ted..I have one and used it in the Duster...I set the engine back 6" in the 63 Dodge in which I had to cut the trans tunnel...

what I may do is, when I'm ready, is order the JW Bell and cut the factory Bell off..this way there's more protection should a converter let go and I'll probably use a blanket unless there's a scatter shield out there that fits around the trans part..

food for thought
