4L80E in '65 low hump

Anybody got any experience putting a 4L80E in a low hump truck. I'm wondering how tight it will be. I did move the engine mounts to the front two holes of the 3 that are there. That should help a couple inches.

theres room. Some guys have to trim or modify the lip/seam when they slide it in there, but there is room for it.

In my case, I luckily didn't have to modify anything except moving the trans mount back.

I've got a new rear mount from CPP and will have to have a driveline made to the correct length.
