Question Question where to make the cut.

A while back I screwed up when I put my trans in,while it was lowered I forgot to put the lines on.

Theres not enough room for me to get to it underneith.So Im going to make a cut through the floor board unless theres an easier way?
So if worst comes to worst and I have to make the cut where?
Is it on the hump before the seats or where?

I would remove the body mount bolts on that side, loosen (don't remove) the other side, jack the side of the body up, set 4x4s blocks between the body and frame, lower body down. That should give ya the needed room without cutting a hole in the floor to patch.

Question

So can anybody answer this question?If Im going to make a hole in my floor board is it the hump right before the seat or is where the ceneter council is?I have already made up my mind this is what Im going to do.At this point theres no other way around it.

on my truck I was able to get everything connected with just the y-pipe hanging down (disconnected from the manifolds).. it was tight and I said quite a few choice words but I still got it connected.
