          Are you planning on shortening the driveshaft for that extended tail housing?

            The drive shaft comes in the sikky kit.

              Yes, but the trans in the picture has an extended tail shaft section in comparison with an F-body / GTO T56, which is what the kit and sikky driveshaft is based on

                  I ordered an f body transmission. The Shifter lines up perfect. I'll try the shaft next week.

                    Magnum trans. Notice the tail section protruding beyond the shifter.



                    Stock F-body T56.




                    I mistakenly assumed OP was going for the Magnum trans.

                      I guess there is an easy fix for that.

                          The tail sections can be swapped out. But it's costly and requires swapping internal items from what I'm told.

                            I'll send it back. They sent me the wrong one.

                              Just got off the phone with Tremec. The magnum comes with the extended tail housing. I must cut my drive shaft. Shifter position works, so that's all that counts for me.
