Just want some ideas for an interior swap. Looking for cushy and sporty buckets and a console. Swapping over from the pillow top Regal limited split bench in front and rear. Needs to be manual trans friendly and a little fab work doesn’t scare me.

What have you done? Let’s see some pics! :D

Aftermarket buckets and a monte console with the shift plate trimmed to fit the Hurst shifter. The car is torn apart right now, but it will match when done.

I'm curious to see what everyone else has done, mine has an Impala console in it that the builder put in. I purchased a fifth gen camaro console to go in when I do the engine and manual transmission swap but that seems to keep getting further and further away.

I installed Cerullo buckets on GM power tracks and modified a 78' Trans Am center console to fit.
They also make a manual version of the console.

Those look Comfy! Looks really good too, stock console looks sharp.

That looks super nice! Nice attention to the small details, I like where you mounted your switches too.

I like this! Very stealthy! Which shifter location on the trans are you using for that position? I wasnt sure if I need to have th F body location or the forward mount???

How do you find the height of the armrest on that console? That looks like about the same height as a S-10 Blazer console and they are common as heck around here.



Unfortunately I doubt I will find a nice enough stock unit, unless I get really, really lucky.


I am kinda eyeing some E48 and E36 BMW seats I have seen on Kijiji. I don't know why but BMW and Subaru Seats are common as dirt in my neck of the woods. 6 way power and heated would be nice in the cold we get in the fall and winter. If I am going to do some mount fabrication I should make it worth it. I am looking for later model Grande Prix GTP leather seats, seen those installed and they look NICE!

For the T-5 I put a S-10 tailshaft housing on it.

For the T-56 I used the location closest to the output shaft.
That is an LT1 Style T-56
