4 Speed Conversion

The others have given you good advice.

Look at the pictures of mine. I did just as the others said. Lay the hump in and get it to fit up as close as possible. Mark it then cut the hole smaller than the mark. 1 1/2~2" should be good. Bolted the trans with shifter installed to the crossmember and held it in place. Then we set the hump with floor boot installed to mark where to weld it in. Trim the floor to proper size before welding.

I do not have the measurements but the pictures should help. Mine was a auto on column so I cut the floor out of a 67 Formula S barracuda to get the console brackets to make sure we put them in the right place. BUT it was an auto. We had already welded the brackets in so we cut the shifter bracket off and the others were in the right place.

that's right I cut up a Formula S, have the steering column also....hehehe it was rusted out and the guy was parting it out.

I'm planning on doing a 4 speed conversion on my 69 Barracuda in the spring and I've been slowly collecting parts and wanted to pick some of the brains out there that have already gone through this process. I'm installing a console, going to use a hurst 4 speed console shifter, I have the tranny, clutch, pedals, pedal assembly, etc. I wanted to get an idea of how to properly locate the console so that the shifter, hump, etc. lines up properly. Would anyone have any pictures of a conversion they have done/are doing or measurements as to the location of the hole, where the hump goes, an so on?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
