Car: 86 firebird with 98 firebird interi
Engine: pump gas 427sbc Dart Lil M 13.5:1
Transmission: Oldani TH400 w/ BTE 9" convertor
Axle/Gears: 31 spline Moser/full spool/4.11Rich
With my firebird dash there are notches where the factory duct work went up the A pillars, so there will be no need to cut the dash anywhere. Worst case scenario would be having to have the down bars tweaked a little so they go through the 4th gen dash in the right spot AND meet up at the floor pan where the door bar is welded.
Just assume the cage is already welded in place, the dash will literally just slide right upto the firewall with no modifications assuming the bars are in the right location.
Edit: I was gonna install the halo and down bars, but new plans are to find a new car for track only and do the cut it, gut it, run it treatment.

Car: too many ...
Yup for mine I plan to cut it and fit it after the bars are welded in. But I wanna do something different than the 10 point cages I see most people go with. The ones I've seen have the front two bars come down before the dash. I want the two front bars to line up with the a-pillars and go all the way to the firewall, then bend down. Mainly because I'm tall and I need all the leg room I can get. So I'm probably going to be cutting the upper part of the dash so I can slide it in and secure it.
