Do you have a body lift? I just did mine without a body lift and had to cut quite a bit. Unfortunately, I already put the carpet back and can't easily measure though I can probably come up with a close number if someone else doesn't.
Cut a whole like Dan wheelers. That is about what I did with mine. But wish I made it a little larger. Mine also had a 1" body lift. With no body lift you are going to be super close to the heater box when it is in 1st gear mine with the body lift just touches it in first!
Here's some pictures of the removeable tunnel cover I made, which might give an idea of where to cut. I cut about 5" up the incline under the heater box, but I don't think it would be enough to remove the top from the transmission (even if the heater box was removed). Sorry about the poor quality of the 1st picture - I was lazy that day and used a cell phone.
Thanks all, I cut one like Danwheeler, once I get it installed I'll make a cover. Worked on it a bit today, got everything ready to go in, it just doesn't want to go in. Not an easy job for one person.
Yeah its tough with no body lift. I had to grind off more more metal on the driver's side of the cutout then Danwheeler. Also, I had to temporarily remove the motor mounts to get the engine to fit onto the bell housing because the transmission was running into body. I also had help.
