I was able to use a CSR shield on by 67 Belvedere but had to do two things . To fit the shield to the trans , I had to cut quite a few bosses off the trans case . The shield fits like a glove , So I have it on the trans before I install it into the car . I have to let the engine tilt down in the back or I can't get at the top two bolts . I did trim back the flange where the trans tunnel to the firewall hangs down , then after the trans is bolted up to the engine , I jack it into place and install the trans crossmember . Its tight but it all fits . I wished that CSR would clearance the shield for the ProTrans band adjustment , and change where the buckle is for the strap , because its is wedged up in the trans tunnel , just move it down a few inches . Glad they are finally making the shields again , they were out of stock for almost a year .
