Most likely even if they say you can pull the trans you still have to loosen one up, and also they will hang down really low and you will drag them over everything. I do clutch swaps with longtubes for 450. Just did 2 of them and have another clutch job on 01gt with bbks. Let me if you need it done or need help/advice. I have done 10+ lts on gts and cobras

the bbk's have the best ground clearence i think, but thats because the hug the tranny also, so you have to pull the pass off to get the trans out.

I have taken the tranny off of the bell housing and removed it and then removed the bell housing. It's like a puzz 3-D. It works but it's a pain
