Kawika sure! First things first, if you ar NOT using a "computer" electronic box that fits on the right side of the C-6 then it will fit with some minor mods. Howevere if you are using an electronics box to show what gear you are in you are going to have to notch both sides of the frame to allow them to fit. If you're only concerned with the kick down lever, once you have the motor and trans. mounted-loosely- push the tranny to the right slightly. Your U-joints will more than make up for the 1' angle or better. Now remove the kickdown lever and look at the back/tranny side of the little ball fitting. You will see where it has been stamped in place. Install the entire bracket in a vice with the stamped part up, grind this off as carfeully as you can without actually getting into the lever arm. Once you are satisfied it is ground down enough flip the lever over, the ball fitting for the linkage has like a 3/8's nut on the bottom. use this nut to grab it tight with a small pair of vice grips or even a wrench. Swivel it back and forth until if finally comes loose. Pull or punch it out. Now take the bracket out of the vice, flip it over and re-insert the ball fitting then weld it in from the back side.

Now the ball fitting will be facing the transmission when re-assembeled and not poiniting out or hitting the frame. Just re-run the kick down cable to the ball socket which leaves plenty of room for it to work without binding.

Make sense? If not don't hesitate to let me know!

And cpteddie, this ones for you;
