So I'm almost ready to put the engine and T-56 into the car, but I am yet to drill the hole for the shifter. Is the shifter the same distance back from the the bellhousing? The main question is do I still drill the shifter hole 18.5" in front of the rear passanger wall? This is not something I want to drill twice or it will be a long day.

Today was a long day, while putting on the pressure plate. I was tightening down the bolts 1/2 rotation at a time skipping bolts to make the load even over the plate. I was getting close to the pressure plate touching the flywheel and a bolt broke (ie still working with a short wrench)! Yes, they have the 8.8 on the back so I think they are the correct bolt for the application, but WTF. Needless to say I will be replacing ALL the bolts tomorrow. It would suck to have another one break while under load.
