Removing the hump is easy, but are there other considerations? was this a 4 speed?

Yes, always ran autos, so my sons and I think it will make it easier on the driveline and our learning curve.
Just a little strip time planned to sort out a few things, so mostly meets and Sunday drives. Many things to do yet, as the car is just a painted shell sitting on sub-frame dollies.
Beefed up the K-frame , adding sub-frame connectors, torque boxes and lower control arm stiffeners so we don't twist the paint off....LOL Gears will be 3.54
Thanks, Joe

I don't see why the hump couldn't stay.

Good idea, put a plate over the opening and order a 4 speed carpet.
Can't see anything that might affect??
Thanks, Joe
Oh yeah, I'll need a trans support too

I had a 67 Valiant that I put a 4 speed hump in. I made brackets to mount a Hurst Quarter Stick pistol grip shifter inside the hole and used a 4 speed boot over it. In my opinion looked way better than the cheap plastic or aluminum covers they sell. You can even use a 4speed console over it.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

So I just remove the "hump" and weld a patch to match the curve?
Thanks, Joe I wouldn't remove it Make a screw in panel to cover the stock shifter hole and run it The 727 in a 4 speed car floor will give you more room to work on the tranny in the car to hook up the shift linkage and so on

I went auto 20 years ago.The clutch pedal just stayed on the floor untill recently I went on the Lee La Lane diet and changed to an auto pedal set up for the weight savings. As Lee says,,,,,,,,light is might and I took out 200 lbs. Every once counts!! https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/2649161/1.html
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
