I am going to get a TKO-600 and was wondering if the trans. tunnel has to be cut out. I have been looking on the net and know for a GM-A body the tunnel has to be cut. On all the pics of a chevelle install the tunnel is completely cut out. I am already running a 4-speed in a 68 nova which should be the same as a first gen. camaro or firebird I know there are a ton of people on this site that have done this and just was wondering. :rolleyes5

Yes, I had to cut the tunnel on my '70 Nova. While I'll admit that I went a little crazy with the WIDTH of the hole, length-wise it definitely needs to be opened from the front shifter position to the rear shifter position in order to clear the tunnel. Here are a couple pics.

HTH,
Dan

Thanks Dan I need to strip my floor and paint it but I was'nt going to paint it then cut a hole in it and have to repaint it. Thanks for the info, I will just wait until I get the trans to strip and paint. :dunno:
