The final thing to re-install after gutting everything out from the flow wheel out to the wheels was the transmission tunnel cover. When I relocated the shift tower hole in the transmission tunnel originally, I was off a little and missed needing to move it upward to allow the shifter boot to be installed. When I pulled the Cover to swap transmissions I discovered that the right side also had rubbed the cover. So I redid the cover completely rather than just moving the hole again. I opened up the original hole to clear, and built new panels to enclose the shift tower, and fir the boot. In order to fit the NP435, I installed the tunnel boot over the transmission boot.

flipped through your pics Will, You have to be an engineer! I thought I was the only engineer on here, and certanly the only one that builds mockups and does autocad, but, I guess I was wrong!
Checked your link, Will, those are some awesome pictures! Funny how the "before and after' shots remind us where we began versus where we are now, and I do the same. Well done on the tranny floor cover!
