Removable tunnel in stock?

Just throwing out there since we have to run shields just like SS. Sure would be a delight to changing trannys on my car.

My car is a Super Stocker, but I had to modify the tunnel just to get a CSR shield to go in the car. Headers clearance can make blankets impossible to use also.

So what is a guy to do?

Remember there being a sick shift stocker a few years back which had a removable dash and trans tunnel. The stock floor from another car was cut out and fitted.

Would think this would be fine to do done correctly but sheet metal tunnel will not fly.

Doing this will weaken the car a full cage would be in order.

Saw a removable tunnel at Bandimere on a A/S camaro years ago. They flipped when I tried to get a pic of the interior!

I used one years ago. I didn't know you couldn't . I cut the tunnel out from the firewall to the seat and then used another tunnel from the same model of car and quick fasteners. You could change the trans complete with shifter from the front seat.
