And so it begins,,,,,, 5-speed Duster swap!

Soo... has it started? :)
I’ve got the bellhousing bolted to the engine. I plan on cutting the center of the torsion bar crossmember on Saturday, then mounting the transmission to the bellhousing and raising it up in the tunnel to see what kind of cuts I need to make in the floor pan. I am planning on welding a flat piece of 2 inch wide steel plate to the floor pan and to the torsion bar crossmember that I cut. Hopefully it will turn out similar to the photos I have attached. I also need to check the bell housing run out in case I need to order some offset dowel pins.
