Uh oh. do you mean i have to change the linkage or pretty much everything from the tranny up to the shift knob? That doesn't sound too hard IF i had the 60 shifter... which I don't. I'll check with the guy with the engine and see if he can part with it. he's dropping in a 350, of course, so i doubt he'll need it, but he'll probably want a lot for it.

Thanks for all your help! this is VERY useful!
