'69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member
Car is back on its torsion bars once again.
Had to cut out forward section of floor and widen floor to get trans up high enough for trans cross member bolts to go in. Now bellhousing and trans lay hard up against the firewall with floor heat ducts directly above and firewall can't go up any higher.
It also appears my engine sits a good 1/2 to 1 inch farther rearward then other cars that did T56 swap. I can not move engine forward or TTI headers will lay on steering linkage. The engine always sat far back when the auto trans was in there. So this is causing the bellhousing trans to push firewall up and factory AC car with steel heat ducts directly above not able to move fire wall up any more.
Not able to get required clearance so cleaned up garage and walked away probably take a few days off.....
