I ran one of Patrick's shifters for several years and liked it. I changed to a T5 for the OD. I'd really rather have the Saganaw with an OD but the solenoid interferes with the shifter. Patrick's shifter is a Hurst 4 speed shifter with short rods and a custom bracket and lever. I'd give them another week then build one. There was another guy making one that mounted on top and would clear an OD solenoid but I haven't heard anything about it in a while. It cost $300 and I heard it was sloppy. Beater
By the way that sounds like a great combo. MY '53 has a 270.
