My bad!! Couldnt you just measure the tranny, and you should be able to figure from the firewall back, and I would think you would have a close guesstamit?

The only problem with getting a muncie is I dont know how long it is and I dont have any access to manual trans.I have a bench seat and I dont think it will clear.Unless any one has some measurements.

Thanks for your help! 8)

I had a borg warner 5 speed in mine and had to cut a hole about 8 inches or so past the hole that is there now.
it worked fine with bucket seats.
the 4 speed may be another location, but you will most likely have to cut another hole.
