Will 700r4 need a high hump?

My cab is at the body shop and before its painted I wanted to find out if I need a high hump tunnel for a 700r4 trans. Truck is a 69 with a 400 SBC. I have researched this topic and have seen both yes and no answers. Brother's sells a nice steel replacement unit.

No it will not need a high hump.
In fact a big block and TH400 will fit a low hump with decent clearance.
I've had multiple trucks with the 700 and low hump.

x2.
I had my 305TPI with 700-R4 no problems. I now have 6.0 with 4L80E no problems.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I am glad to know this as I am preparing to install a 700 r4 in my truck and was wondering if I needed to change the hump.

Agree that a high hump is not necessary but on my 67 --- bbc even moved forward an inch -- I did have to slightly massage the passender side just below the cover for the 2-4 servo cover. May not be necessary on yours and is no biggie.

I've got a 69 with a big block--T400 trans and a low hump, fits fine. I can get my hand around it
