'65 Formula S with "factory" 727 and 8 3/4?

Noticed most of y'all mention "modding" the trans tunnel lip for clearance. Guess I really am the lucky one as I have had 2 '65s that did not require any "attitude adjustment" on said lip. :thumbsup: Didn't have the opportunity to find out on my 3rd one. :( If memory serves, I had an inch or so on both.
And one other thing about my first one. My Dad did the install and used the exhaust manifolds & complete exhaust system from the '68 'cuda that the 340 came out of, including the tips & hangers. Notched the rear valance & you really had to look to notice them. I helped with the install & don't remember having to do anything with the column. Maybe him using 273 mounts he had modded helped?
Of course, it wasn't loud enough for a 16 yo & it wasn't long before I had cut from the mufflers-back off & hung some Walker Blue Tubes on it. Remember those? :D On my 2nd, I had bought a set of fenderwell headers from a '65 Dart.
My plan for the 3rd one was to exactly replicate my first '65 down to notching the valance for the tips. Sigh... maybe one day.:)
