    Not a 69, but the 69 has the same floor as my 66 I just installed one in.  There are crossmembers available that will allow you to bolt it in, but the tranny will be tilted way down.  I raised the tranny hump about 1" from stock to clear the transmission, sectioned a 67-70 floor crossmember (the piece that goes over the tranny) and built a custom lower crossmember in order to get it in there at the right angle.  The upper and lower crossmembers were positioned about 2" aft of stock location in order to not have to cantilever the tranny mount, which can cause vibration issues.

    It was a heck of alot of work to get it to fit properly.

    Search FRANKENMEMBER for my previousposts on the crossmembers.  I have lots more pics if you want to email directly.  steve@mustangsteve.com


    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Installed in my 68 with 428cj. No issues other than a slight trim of the shifter hole.
