Thought I would share some of the modifications that we're doing so I y'know......fit.

The engine is being pushed forward 4.5 inches, cutting the back 3/4 off of the engine mount and using the existing front vertical plate portion as the "new back" of the engine mount. This will allow us to then push forward the drivers side foot box as well as the dash.

The A-pillars are remaining in place, only the horizontal dash bar is being repositioned, and in turn also push forward the steering wheel and dash surface about 1 to 1.5 inches. We chose this route instead of trying to push the seat back, the gains we get in additional foot and leg room should be a real bonus.

The existing footbox has been completely removed and replaced, along with a cut into the box section steel on the left leg of the foot box entry - this is to help widen and hopefully gain some comfort on those longer trips.
A section has also been cut out of the primary rail on the drivers side to help widen the foot area.

Once we have the engine placed and the transmission in place, the plan is to look at the possibility of narrowing the transmission tunnel to gain more width in the cabin for both the driver and passenger - still scheming on that one.
