It's tight but tunnel mods aren't too bad using the Hemi Denny Trans mount and Hemi Denny K with engine about 1 " forward. A lot of un-needed bosses need to be removed from the 8HP70.
Whenever a device fails to work I rub the battery & device contact points with a pencil eraser (or my blue jeans if no eraser is around). A high % of the time that gets things going again at least for a little while.
I'm looking for clear right side door glass, roll up window and vent for a 67 fastback. I've seen conflicting information on interchangeability of glas from fastbacks, coupes and verts as well as interchangeability of 67, 68, 69. Does the vert glass fit a fastback? What is it's condition?

Not sure how I pulled off the magical computer feat:lol:. Hopefully the link works this time, If not just search for turbolamik.us. The kit was on back order when I last communicated with them a couple weeks ago.
Based on my fit up, the front boss on the right side may be able to stay. Don't know what the rear thing is but loked like it may be low enough to not interfere. On the left the bosses for a transmission jig can go. Not sure what the boss closer to the centerline is but on mine there are 2...
The 4 large protrusions are for a jig the mounts the transmission in a vice for servicing. I havn't been able to determine what the large protrusions at top rear are for. I suspect they are for use in one or more European cars but not needed for Mopars. The vent at the top of the trans has to...
I have motor mounts that move the engine approximately 1" forward and the Hemi Denny trans mount, both are relatively new. I couldn't find any advice on how much tunnel cutting would be necessary other than Denny saying cutting was minor. I have a close friend who back halves cars on a regular...
The Hemi Denny trans mount is nice, Kinda pricey. Just finished installing it yesterday. Today between other tasks I'll start on the tunnel rebuild. It'll be a little tricky because the original console is being retained.
Wish I had your energy. Do you ever sleep? 8 3/4 are difficult to find, expensive to buy, and very expensive to rehab. I found one with a gear ratio I liked but purchasing it and rebuilding it would cost more than a new 9" from Speedway so that's the way I'm heading. Nothing wrong with an 8.8.
