'69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member

it's nice to be able to hide the 'conversion' under the stock console. will a stock carpet fit if you cut up the centre of the tunnel area? where it'd open up due to the bigger tunnel it may well hide under the console. don't know if you'd thought about it but the 'ribs' on the tunnel showing each side could be hidden by adding some dense sponge forward and behind them before fitting the carpet. :thumbsup:

Stock 4 speed carpet fit right over mine, no cutting needed. And I took the floor over the crossmember on mine. The carpet is actually a bit loose on the drivers side, an auto carpet would probably fit better.

The console on my car is a bit further back than stock because I didn’t offset the shift handle, but other than that it hides the tunnel pretty well.

You can see the carpet and console mounts in this one, the hole was for the old 4 speed



And with the console installed



One of these years I’ll have to add the carpet trim to the console, which will cover the old 4 speed hole.
