Got a pic of the engine and firewall.

Made some good progress today. Got the high hump installed and set the cab back on to check fitment. Also bolted the T-case to the trans with the AA adapter. Bolted the 87 hydroboost steering box to the frame and some other small odds/ends.

The trans ended up almost perfect with the 3 1/4" move forward.

Not the best photo. I'll get some better ones tomorrow with the distributer dropped in and from the side.

Looks like the stock trans shifter will hit the dash.

I put the bench seat and shifter in yesterday to check for overall fit. It fits great! The angle on both axis' turned out to be spot on.

The throw on the shifter on the 4500 is quite short. Guessing 6 inches max at the knob. The 3 1/4 move fwd turned out to be perfect.
