I currently have an E4OD in an 84 E350, and an AODE in a 65 Mustang. Both are controlled by Baumman.

In my van, the trans hit the floor. I jacked up the trans until it was raising the vehicle, and when I lowered it, the trans had created it's own clearance. The van has a column shift so a floor mounted shifter was not an issue.

For my 73 Mach 1, I do not expect length to be an issue.
