This is in a 71 Demon. Other may have had better luck though. I have to make more room in the tunnel anyways for the gear vendors OD.

The tunnel has a section that had to be removed to make clearance. The crossmember was also highly modified to fit it. If you are in no real hurry whem I bring it home in a cpl weeks can get you shots of both. Thanks, Ken Michalik Last edited by 1974 474 Duster; 04/02/12 12:20 PM.

I imagine to fit the required trans shield in a stock tunnel is gonna be a tough task. I can get you pics if you like. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

If I remember correctly, they had to do a bit of hammering on the tunnel and also had to remove the torsion bar cross member, inside of tunnel and replace it with plate, bent in the profile of the tunnel and rewelded in. Not a big deal.

That being said, the Trans for great accept where the torsion cross member was. I also had to completely remove that. I replaced it with a removable tubular crossmember. I also built a new tubular crossmember for the tail shaft to mount to. I don't have any pics, but its a real slick piece with Heim joints that bolt got tabs welded to the sub frame connectors.
