5speed (395) in manual R12 (352)

Never attempted the conversion, but I know the floorpan needs the hump extended a bit. Now my question is how much is "a bit"? The length difference between the two 'boxes is not that much, but how does that translate into practice? Can I just bash it with a hammer, or does it need some welding/surgery?



The second part of the question is if I transplant an 807 engine instead of the 810 does that make a difference in regard to how far back the 'box will reach/ (My guts say no, because the exit point of the driveshaft from the g'box is in the same position but I am not sure).



And lastly, does this modification raise any problems with the exhaust? I know I am not going to be able to use the existing R12 bracket at the back of the box, but is there any other clearance/positioning problem (I am particularly interested in the section where the exhaust goes past the g'box).



I have all the parts I need including the exhaust from manifold to the tailpipe, but it's for a 17TL, so a 4 speed (352) setup.



Oh, and another question, did anyone here ever use the 32/36 DGV on an 807? What jetting does it need? Dizzy will be the 807 original item.
