trans tunnel

on my 69 mav i am in the middle of swaping in my 302, will i have trouble with the 302 belhousing fitting in the transmission tunnel because of it being narrower then the rest of the years

 

Seth; if you use the C4, the bell and trans will fit ok. If you use an AOD or a T5, you will have to trim the tunnel supports above the front of the trans, and modify or use a different crossmember. The trans tunnel is narrower on the 69.5, and the crossmember is a challenge. Everything else is the same. Good luck!

 

Yep, like Earl said, C4 will fit fine. If you use the double hump transmission crossmember, you'll have to drill a new hole on one side to bolt it up.

 

ok sounds good im using the c4 so it should be good

 

hay do you guys know were i can get the spacer plate that fits between the engine and belhousing the one i got with the engine is from a different trans and dosent fit so well can u get them online?

 

Seth; I may have one. I'll check tomorrow and get back to you on this thread.

 

that sounds good if u have one for an automatic that would be great, o and which side is the side that needs to be drilled out for the double hump support to fit.

 

jamie... i have a 70 and the hole for a double hump crossmember is already there.... when did they start doin that?

 

and it would be the drivers side because the passenger side is already higher for the exhaust

 

ya the 70 is different then the my 69 so the the driverside needs moverd up then

 

Seth; I have a block plate if you need it. Just pay the shipping (about $20???) and I will send it to you. Send me a pm if you are interested, and we can get it done there. Let me know!!!!!
