I didn't see it mentioned what are your plans for the clutch assembly. Hydraulic I assume?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks! I am powder coating and blasting everything that I can fit in my "Harbor freight" sand blaster (paid $89 new) and my "Craigslist" oven (paid $100 used). The Gun you can pick up from Harbor Freight for around $70. Its less expensive than paint and comes out really nice.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Nice little set up! Thanks for the pictures. I had been contemplating doing the same thing, I was looking at the Eastwood kit but for the price I will go with the Harbour Freight gun.

not much help as far as shifter position, but I came across a fellow who used a 4wd floor pan to give the 6 speed proper clearance. Ill re-post if I ever find the link.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
could you just switch in the High Hump bolt in part and have the clearance you need ?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
67Cheby, That looks like an easy cure.. Did the high hump come in a certain year or transmission option? Thanks for the help!

Until last weekend I had an extra one I would have given you. I just put it into my 67. They aren't too hard to find and tend to run around $40 to $60 in good shape when I have seen them for sale. A square body truck piece is a whole lot easier to find and fits pretty close but the back end doesn't match up and the lower corners of the front are mismatched a little. With a little fab work you could make one fit if you have a hard time finding a good 67-72 piece.
