Does anyone sell a full floor pan with a 4 speed hump/cutout?  All I could find on AMD's website is the floorpan, and the 4 speed piece individually.

Thanks in advance

That's the way they come. Even from the factory they cut the auto floor pans for the 4 speeds. I just removed the hump and cut the old piece of the floor out and laid it on the new, scribed it's outline and cut the hole to match. Bit of a PITA, but not a big deal really.  :cheers:

 :iagree:  Yup, just have to cut them out.  It would be nice if they came pre-cut, but it's not to hard to cut them out.   :wrenching:

When you do the cut out be aware of the trans/torsion bar crossmember... The factory left the floor intact over the crossmember....

I would like to know how they cut it originally; pre-stamped during assembly, air saw, torch, etc...   they must of had some sort of template or instructions..    :thinking:

Most likely a separate stage in the press line. :alan2cents:

The cuts in mine didn't appear to be press cuts. They most resembled a plasma cutter cut but I don't think they had that tool then. They kinda appeared to be hand cut as they weren't perfectly straight or even. Who knows?  :notsure:

Does anyone have the factory engineering drawing with instructions for the cutout?

I took a look at my uncut AAR today and measured where I could reach.  Trans is in car.

There was only about 1/4 inch from the edge of the hump to the edge of the cut floor pan.

Anyone think that there was actually a template, or that assemblers were given some training and instruction to cut floor for the four speed hump, and it came out in varied shapes depending upon who did it?
I will start with an inch inside of the hump tracing for now.

Here is how I cut the floor on my '70 Cuda when I converted to a 4 spd in May.
