Re: 2.8 auto to 350 5speed

On the passenger compartment side of the bulkhead, there is a sound dampener that has a rubber-like side and that crummy cotton stuff on the other. To the left of the hole where the brake booster comes through the bulkhead, you'll see a set of cuts that outline an oblong hole where the clutch master cylinder would poke through. Mark that hole on the bulkhead after you remove the spacer, and drill/grind away. You will need to remove the brake booster to install the clutch parts.

Also, you'll need to remove the console to install the shifter parts. Take a measurement from the donor car as to where to cut the shifter hole.
