Actually it was KBMWRS's idea when he cut the foam piece when we were installing the motor and tranny in Shag. I am surprised that you had to cut so much of the tunnel opening for as you can see here I trimed just a tiny bit.
And here you can see the green knee pad in place

Looks like the difference in the needed opening size is the angle that the drive train sits in the car. Shag looks to have a lower placed engine.

Interesting enough, I only had to trim a small area like you did above, but we trimmed the back side of the opening to clear the shifter when it was in 2,4 and reverse.

one thing i have figured out. every car IS different. in making crossmembers/brackets etc. you can have two identical cars & the same parts but everything fits a bit differently.brackets that fit one car need a bit if adjustment on others.

Isn't the shift hole for 67's and later years bigger than 65-66's?
