Budget roughly 35K, yes you could get it in and running for 15 or so, but the extras that are required just keep adding up

Do you have do cut much on the tunnel for the box?

However there are two methods you could use to refab the tunnel in an LH/X
The first that was recommended by an engineer, was to graft a VT-VY tunnel section into the Torana ( a V8 manual of course ) The actual tunnel section if you can find one from a wreckers ect, shouldnt set you back too much. Its the cost of the grafting and fitting that will add up.
The second is a custom tunnel mod specific to the gearbox fitment.
I would think both options would end up costing roughly about the same.

Some interesting pictures there, including the brakes, and the remote booster.
Looks like some cutting and shutting under that guard too. not sure what for
Its at 22,000 now, so im betting hes got roughly 30,000 on it. Note hes used a T700 and VX brakes
