Thanks guys!

I got the new engine and transmission installed in the ’72 C-30 yesterday. It went in without any major problems. You will definitely need the high hump floor if you are going to install the NV4500 5 speed manual transmission. I had to remove the shifter tower to get the trans to fit between the bellhousing cross member and the firewall tunnel. The shifter tower is approx. 4 ½ inches back from the stock SM465 location so I cut a new hole and made a filler piece to cover the original hole.

Now all I need to do is bolt on all of the misc. pieces…..
