This will locate aprox where the e-brake crossmember is now. The e-brake will have to be dealt with in one of a couple ways. The one issue I see is that there appears to be no holes drilled and tapped in the trans mounting pad on your 3 speed. I have to ask....why don't you want to use the 4 speed that was in your 'Vette? That would make your truck a whole lot more fun to drive IMO.
Great Info from you as usual. I appreciate the help!
The 4 speed is staying in the vette. I may upgrade the trans in the truck later on.

I've decided to just use the truck bell housing and continue to use my block mounted mini starter that's already on my Ramjet 350. I just learned that I could do this so I'm rolling with it
