Default C5 dash in a C4 vette?

Oh yeah, here are some teaser pics of the install


Here is a shot of the C5 dash before cutting (note the gauge bezel area protruding too far out).



Here is a shot of the dash cut to move forward approx. 4 inches (I need to cut 1 mone inch off but I have to get my gauge cluster first to ensure nothing will hit).



Shot of the center after cutting (note the heater vent lines up properly)



Here is a center console shot (note, lines up perfectly with the trans tunnel)



I'll keep you all updated on the progress. For those of you that don't know what I'm doing I have an 84 corvette that I'm putting a built LS1 with AFR's, phat cam, long tubes, and dual exhaust on. I bought a Dana 44 rotor to rotor setup with 4.11's in it so I could use the 50mm style offset (I'll need more options for running 10-11" wide rims to plant my 420-440 rwhp ). Till next time....

Dude, did you ever figure that clutch solution out or what?? lol Just get rid of the LT1 T56 and get an LS1 T56... that would solve your problems right there.
