I would immediately pick up the phone and call AP and ask for Gray. He will help you out.

I cut the tunnel near the front on the passenger side and a friend formed a patch panel and welded it in. I've been told by others you can bump that area out enough without cutting. There were also issues with the pilot bearing staying in place. It would move after the engine warmed. I used Loctite black (from Graingers) to keep it in place.

I got a mew tko600 kit from kiesler still sitting in the boxes... From my research, you don't even need the 4 speed hump to use them in a b-body... that was clearance for the shifter. Like mentioned you can clearance the tunnel some. I imagine e-bodies are the same too. My perfect rust free floor pan was already cut years ago in the tunnel, otherwise I would wait and go passion also, but this kits already here and paid for.
