You'd modify the existing transmission hump or cover.

Cutting out or bending? Either way do you have pics from f what that looks like

Yes to cutting and bending.
I do not have any pics from whats needed, I would direct you to use the search function as this is all covered ad nauseam in this forum.

If you want to know what is involved with changing out the ring and pinion you can take a look at this. He used to take mail in work but now only takes drop offs as time permits. And it looks like a 16 hr. drive to Prescott if you wanted to drop yours off.

Here is an idea of where the clearance is needed compared to a 1/79-9/82 40 series with a four speed.

Different requirements depending on what year the 40 is. It also makes a difference on what H55F setup you use. All new H55F are made with the shifters in the position for the 60 series. Transfer shifter pivots off the reverse gear section of the case transmission housing. The upper right white is a 40 series inspection cover with a H55F. Lower left is from a late 60 series and shifters would be position further back.
