Does someone have pics or measurements of where to place the tunnel? Before I start cutting stuff up hoping to see a general idea of where the 4 speed tunnel goes.

Got a good deal on a rebuilt A body A833 with shifter and bellhousing (non OD trans). Found a pedal assembly locally. I am going hydraulic and very interested in the American Powertrain kit, looks pretty complete but every review I have read on is mixed at best. Thoughts?

Have to gather flywheel for my 360, I am sure there are a ton of things I will forget but I have all winter to do it.

I thought about a full kit from Brewers, but pretty pricey and then add a grand to ship to Canada, and it's still the Z bar system. I am getting older and would prefer a real easy hydraulic clutch.

I thought about a TKX kit, but the mods that are mentioned are probably outside of my mechanical level.

anyway, looking forward to feedback on what you guys have done for the tunnel placement.

Don't final weld it until the transmission is in.
 
Here are some pictures from my factory 4-speed dart sport, they did a good job at cutting the hole on this car, it matches up with the bump out nicely, the welds aren't the best but hey thats mopar for you, sorry the pictures aren't better it was a bit of a squeeze to take them, and the one picture is of the pivot bracket welded to the frame rail, i think someone has modified or messed with it so i cant say for sure what it should look like, hope this helps
