The 904 transmission is now replaced with a 727. The adapter is much longer and ended up raising the transmission and transfer about an inch. The transmission is larger in the bellhousing area too. So, I ended up removing flooring and structure as well.
Here's what it looked like when I got ready to start back with the floor.
I have already spent at least a day rebuilding the transmission shifter. I am using the shifter from the 89 Cherokee. I had to approach the transmission from the wrong direction but it didn't make a lot of difference because the Jeep transmission (4 speed) and the 727 have different throw lengths and it would have taken a bell crank of some sort even if I wasn't changing direction.
Following is a bunch of pics showing the transformation from open floor to the most elaborate transmission hump you can imagine. Sorry for all the pics but it shows my limited mind....
There is one little space against the firewall that will eventually need a little backing as I cut out too much when I enlarged the hole for the transmission.
By the way, I don't need any comments on my tack welds...
