Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

Well I mocked it up so anyone can see what I'm talking about. The pics show a piece of sheet metal (where the rod end mounts) which represents the trans tunnel. The torque shaft is about 1 1/2" away from the semi-flat area on the tunnel where the rod end will mount (actual measurement under the car). I haven't received the 1/2" rod end I ordered yet so I used a 3/4" rod end that I had laying around. So the actual rod end will be a little smaller leaving you more room. As you can see the torque shaft is in pretty close quarters. If you try and mount the pivot point any lower you'll have no torque shaft left for the lever/arm. Also...the lower you go the fatter the 200R4 gets so there aren't a lot of choices. But like I said before you want as little torque shaft below the rod end to reduce deflection.
I mocked it up as closely as possible to the actual measurements I took off my Cuda. I shouldn't be off by more than 1/8 inch. But with Murphy's Law you'll never know till you actually install everything. The pic from the backside of the sheet metal shows how little will protrude into the car after you cut off the excess threads
(maybe 1/4") covered by the carpet.
