Originally we contemplated using Delrin but then decided to just use billet aluminum.
With the engine more or less at the height we wanted, we could raise the transmission into place in order to figure out where we might still need to adjust the tunnel.
In the end, all we had to do was enlarge the OE Toyota shifter hole. We would even be able to use the OE Toyota in-cabin isolation boot as we were able to retain its mounting locations.
First we drilled some holes.
Then we brought out the reciprocating saw.
Then all we needed to do was clean up the resulting hole with a grinder, file, and other tools.
While all that was going on, Kirt next door was working on our engine mounts. How did they turn out? You’ll have to wait to see!
