It is NOT an easy swap once the firewall and body are in place! Ask me how I know this..........but I am soooooooooooo happy that I did! You also have room for a dead pedal in the 289 foot box.
thanks guys, I suspected that..., as I measured out there should be more space right of the throttle pedal, the 427 throttle pedal is left of the steering column, the 289 pedal is right of the steering column, the steering column and the other pedals should be in the same place,
in the next weeks I will change engine and trans, maybe its a more easy swap then....


p.s.
is the footbox riveted to the A-Post? and if, from the inside or outside ? (can I open the rivets while the body is connected to the frame?)
