Hey there,
There is a lot of room above the transmission in my car. LSC has a cross bracket that you will want to shim to raise the trans to set the carb surface.
Each car is going to be different, so may I recommend you set the engine and trans in the chassis and set the carb surface/pitch of the engine in general.
Chances are, you will have tons of room to move the shifter if it is not in your desired location.
This is what I did.
I did go through three tranmissions and five shifter until I was comfortable with what I have.
358 ( yes it is a real 358 ) with a Ford bellhousing and a TKO600.
Hope this helps. I am certain someone with more information will give their view.
