Tremec into 1965 with 460?

Tremec TKO 600 into 1965-68 Galaxie with 460 big block. Has anyone attempted this swap? Were you able to modify any available crossmembers, or did you fabricate your own? How much work did you have to do to the trans tunnel if any for clearance? How was the pinion angle? What did you do for the clutch cable mount on the clutch pedal? Thanks!

I did the swap in my 64 390 car. If your car is already a stick set up, its cake! It took me a weekend and that is me taking my time and drinking beer with buddies. Everyone told me I needed to cut alot of my floor out but I didnt at all, just about 6" more than what was there from the top loader. Everyone on this site was a major help!

Good luck and have fun with it!
