I have a 73 23 cc I redid a few yrs back with a 300 etec and stainless Marine bracket I pushed the console as far forward as I could just allowing the front lid to clear helps offset the weight transfer of the bracket

thanks for the help. From what I can tell just about all the stock consoles seem to be set just in front of that front deck hatch aft of the casting deck. I had a small console with a seat, and the seat met that hatch. I've seen the bigger consoles with the big door and they seem to be set with the door just in front of that hatch - about 39-40 inches off the step.

I'm going to put mine about there since I think it makes the most sense for COG, and I need the space in back. It's just going to be tight in front of that step once I put a cooler seat in front
