Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

That set up looks pretty clean. Nice progress. Car sounds good.
Would be a bit of hassle but I wonder if the sides of the hoop could have been cut above the torsion bar brackets and leaned back. Bevel and re weld. The flat bar may have fit between the square plate and the shift tower. Kinda puts the flat bar sloping down towards the rear.
I kinda did that on mine but not sure if I would have done it that way now. I bent my hoop to go over that square plate to begin with.
There should be room to add the material that was removed from the front side and add to the back if any more clearance is needed..
Sometimes hard to tell how close things are by looking at photos but you definitely want clearance.
I hope to hear a great positive review of your transmission swap. My TKX project is at a creep.
