727 in early a

We squeezed a 727 behind the stroked 360 that went into Jake's 65 B'cuda this past summer because I grew up on bigger is better and we didn't have a 904 to go behind it.... I had read that you only need to beat the firewall/floor seam flat and make a few dents to clear the linkage/lines... We ended up splitting his trans tunnel from that seam all the way back to about an inch from where the factory console bracket is. Basically mini-tubbed the tunnel. It also made for a VERY tight right side exhaust pipe between the trans pan and the torsion bar.

Would I do it to another early A? No. I'd sell the 727 and build a 904.
