1. The only transmission tunnels are high hump and low hump....

2. Not to my knowledge, you will have to widen them. Easiest way is to get a second set and cut both halves wide enough so you only have one weld line on each side. You can also cut yours in half and add a strip in the middle.

Re: looking for some help with parts

Here are some pics of what I did with my wheel wells... I can fit a 14 inch tire with ease. I added 4 1/4 inch additional piece of a stock wheel well to my original.

If you notice, the stock design was kept throughout, so it looks stock if you didn't know it was wider.



You can see the weld there underneath...







Hope that helps you...

Re: looking for some help with parts

P.S. I am using a 79 Cadillac Seville rear end, which is quit a bit shorter than stock. (don't know if that makes a difference other than with backspacing issues.)
