Will they work without beating and banging in the Trans tunnel? I don’t mind a little but no major stuff.
 
SFI bellhousing? I doubt a QuickTime would require any work. A Lakewood I don’t know, kind of doubt it would either.

I’m not sure what brand it is (Lakewood?) (red) SFI tag says 06.
What trans has a 5-5/8 bearing retainer? (truck trans?) That’s the hole size in bell then there’s a ring to bring it down to the 5-1/8 overdrive trans. I’ll have to make a ring to get down to the 4.80 size.
 
For what it’s worth, my red Lakewood fits in a 70 tunnel with no modifications
 
I have Quick Time SFI-approved bellhousing on my '66 Satellite and it seems to have plenty of room.

I have a small-block 360 with a TKX. My TKX is right up against the trans crossmember and I cut the tunnel in on one small spot to give it a little clearance, but the bellhousing was never an issue. I'm sure RBs are different, but I would be surprised if it was enough to cause problems.

I added photo from when I was doing the floors a few months ago. It might give you a better idea as to where everything fits and how it goes together.
