Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
Finally got the '69 cuda on the lift to test fit all my cross member pieces. I also connected the neutral safety and reverse light wires to my console. The pieces fit pretty close but I did have to do some minor grinding to clear this little corner or that little corner. I had previously drilled some pilot holes in the pieces (you'll have to read some of my previous posts) to use a guides to tell me where I had to drill for the new cross member bolts. Once I got everything positioned, level and square I used the pilot holes to transfer the hole location to the torque shaft brace that runs under the body. Once the pilot hole was transferred I removed the metal pieces and drilled the holes all the way through the brace. It all fit very close and should work real good. Tomorrow I put in the transmission cooler.
PS - If you happen to notice that some of the pieces are a too long or wide, I did this on purpose so that when I install the 2004R I have plenty of metal to get the tranny centered (left to right) and on the correct horizontal plane. Once I get the tranny exactly where it needs to be I'll drill some bolt holes to lock it in place, cut off all the excess metal, smooth and paint the pieces before final installation.
