config.?? In that case, how difficult is it regarding to pedalbox 
and room enough for 5 speed bellhousing/ shortening/balancing 
driveshaft?

Thank You very much

The pedal box is simplly removing the axel shaft and cut the spacer tube to allow for  the clutch pedal (availible from Heriitage), then bolt the clutch master cylinder in cut out already provided in the origional p/box. 

The steel support plate that is welded to the frame that the automatic shift lever mounts to has to be removed. 

The shift lingage on te gear box has to be cut, shortened and welded at the right length.

That is abuotall I can tell you at this point.
