Not going to try and start a arguement..
But yes it can be made to work...anybody with a little bit of fab work can make this work..
The stomp pedal goes thru the floorboard..
It doesnt have to bolt to the engine, or the trans ...
All you need is the pedal itself...a simple pivot point with a lever to push the switch I showed above..
Yall making it sound harder than it needs to be...
Can be bolted to the toeboard...
Heres a quick sketch...I would put a hard stop on it to keep from bottoming out the switch..all it needs to do is make contact..
But I will agree..with the LS and trans and exhaust, it would be the last thing I'd do after the drivetrain is installed..room may be very limited....my 55-1st has this switch mounted on the floorboard, looks like a dimmer switch just to the right of the gas pedal
