I chose the machined adapter. It moved my shifter back about 8 to 8-1/2 inches, it moved my emergency brake over about 2 inches, but I set it up a little further back in it's resting position to keep it closer to the shifter. By using the adapter, I could use my brake and clutch pedals mounted in their stock position. The transmission sits right next to my master cylinder which I changed out to a Corvette dual master cylinder. I altered the cross member and the tail of the transmission sits right on top of it at dead center, front to back, plus or minus 1/2 inch. It looks great on top and great on the bottom. You can see a shot of the shifter on my truck web site below. It all took some work and time, but it is well worth it! No modifications to the battery box. It clears by about three inches.
