Newbie question.
I'm in the process of replacing the L43 trans with an L52 in my 1979 2wd pickup (don't laugh
). I'm also replacing the 20R engine with a rebuilt early 22R with 20R head. Since the engine and trans is out of the truck, can anyone out there show just where I'll need to cut/modify the hole where the shifter comes through the floor? A diagram and/or template would be nice. Also, what tool(s) should I use to modify the opening? I've done plenty of wrenching on vehicles, but have never modified car bodies before. Finally, after making the cut, what should I use as a shift boot to cover the hole?
Thanks for the help and advice,
-Mike
