Default Gear Vendors under/over drive unit

Does anyone know if one of these has been successfully installed in a C3 without any major tunel mods? I would love to throw one of these puppies behind my Turbo 400 but I just don't think it will fit. I emailed them with the same question be did not get a reply....not sure what that means...

I did a bit of research into these. I think the tunnel should be OK. Bigget issues I see are COST and modding driveshaft. It costs about $2500 for the GV overdrive plus the cost to mod your driveshaft. You can get some nice auto boxes for around a thousand with ODs in them. Look into the 200R and 700R. Not sure which one but one of them drops in fairly easy.

Yeah, my local vette shot tried to convince me to put a Gear Vendor in back when I had my 75 4 spd, as opposed to a 5 spd. When I saw the cost, I just walked away. The 5 spd was sweet....
