i removed all the wires i would not need and now trying to mock everything up. the shifter is in the way of the center console so i think it will be gone. and i wanted to mount the mallory box in the glove box but the glove box is too small. so what do you guy's think about this location?

I have been working on the same setup. I have a 383 mounted using the same motor plate. Your looks like it is going to be a beast.
