our tranny in a V8? Does it fit?

[Shayne]

You know, I don't remember who did it, but I know there was someone on the
list about 6 years ago that did such a conversion.  The biggest problems was
not the foot well (which I believe are the same, I don't think the differ)
but set up for the peddle assembly.
