OK everybody I need some input advice and opinions. Am currently building my 1966 barracuda into a gasser. I just ordered the speedway straight axle kit for it. I’m currently patching the front floor pans. And there is not a whole lot of trans tunnel left. But the patches should look pretty darn good when I’m done. The question I have is should I throw a four speed in this thing or built 904? The car will mostly be used for racing and going to shows that are relatively close to my house. The car was originally a three on the tree so it is outfitted with the Z bar and I have the clutch pedal set. I also from years ago acquired a four-speed scatter shield And I have 2-4 speed transmissions that probably need gone through, but they are there. I think the only thing that I would need to do is cut the Trans tunnel for the shifter but these early A bodies aren’t necessarily like the later model ones and I don’t have the experience with these. As far as modifying the transmission tunnel how much am I cutting to make this work? For those of you that have done it I would greatly appreciate some detailed advise. I literally have everything I believe to do it aside from the trans tunnel modification I even have a set of pedals. Also I have drove many manuals in my life on the street and had some street cars that I could rip gears in, but I don’t have any experience really racing a four speed. I’ve raced manual valve body automatics. The pans are not welded in yet but they are fitted and ready . Here’s a. Few pics. The paint is por15
