According to the fact sheet on Michael Pell's page,a Tremec TKO is a snug fit but nothing major is required to fit a Chevelle tunnel. The main reason I like the Tremec over the Richmond,is the internal rail shifter. I've read about a lot of shifting problems with the latter. I do like the gearing options better for the Richmond,however.
