Floor hump installation
Here are some of the pictures that I could remember to take. I did have one small hiccup with this swap, the dual exhaust lines run right next to and just under the transmission. So when I went out to test drive it, I could hear an exhaust leak under the hood, where I undid the manifold pipe for the swap but did not tighten all the way. My test drive went smoothly, so when I got back home I tightened the flange. This is where it went to sh__ ! When I was done tightening the flange, I went back out for another test, and found that I could not get the car into reverse very easily, and once I did, I could not get the car into second gear at all! So, to make a long story short, I found that the exhaust pipe was jammed up against the reverse linkage. I had to go to my favorite local muffler guy and ask for some advice. He sold me an extra flange and 2 gaskets, and I installed it like a spacer to drop the pipe about 3/8" to clear the linkage! All is good now!
