You'll have interference at the torsion bar crosmember. Modify the crosmember and floor for clearance.

If your fab skills are lacking, US Car tool had/has a trans crossmember for e-bodies. They may also have something for b-bodies as well. If I remember it was pricey at like $250-300.

Installed 518 in my E-body with no mods other than the new cross member, as mentioned. I would think the B body would have same or more room. Have a PDF of the details, pm me for a copy. Everything you need to know here: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=84774.0

42RH (A-500) is a little smaller and a little shorter than the 518. You will have to build it up internally to handle the power but it may save you from modifying the car. problem is the OD section same size as a 518...and interchanges..but is there room ,,,,I have many of both...gonna check...

Thanks for the replies... tunnel room on the 68 was my concern, wasn't sure on the older ones. I put one in my 68 Charger, JW Bell housing, as said x member & thin the upper torsion x member where it is in the hump, a little hammer work inside the hump, I still have the factory console ,converted the stock shifter to a cable works great
