This is still at that Booty Fab stage (even more so than the rest of the truck) where I'm relunctant to even show it yet because it will be better with more work but, this is the recess I cut into the firewall for distributor clearance. I tried to give it a little shape so it didn't look like a boring square cut out. I like the way it turned out and even though it's perfectly centered on the firewall, the distributor look's offset. That's because the distirbutor is actually offset in the motor. Plenty of clearance but I'm debating recessing further to the passenger side so keep it from looking so funny. One other contributing factor, the HEI distributor wont work with this old style manifold. It still lack's about a 1/2" from seating therefore it really is sittting lopsided and not seated in the motor. I'll be using a different intake obvioulsey.
This shows the start of the trans tunnel. Still A TON of work to do here but this gives you an idea of how far it must be relocated.
