Hey TX cowboy, you will have a hard time using someone else's mesurements.There are some differences in tranny position,though they will be minor.The other differences will be in floor shifters.They may mount a little different or be closer further from the floor or other variables that make a difference.The best way I have found to do this is to mount the shifter without the shifter arm and then put it thru the gears marking the throw or distance the shifter lever moves in each gear.By doing so you can cut the smallest workable hole in your floorboard.Each brand of shifter will come with installation procedures that should be followed.It may also come with a template for the hole in the floor.
