Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

This is starting to look very possible. I got the new 1/2" rod end in the mail and mocked it up. It looks like there's plenty of room and it also (because the rod end is so small) looks like I won't have to put a hole in the body for the rod end. I believe I can make a mount for the rod end to the 1/8" plate that I install between the upper brace and the body. I plan to put the 1/8" plate in there one way or the other for reinforcement. The rod end can be supported by this mount. I might have to cut off a portion of the threaded part of the rod end but that portion of extra threads wouldn't be needed anyway.

I haven't finished bending the arm that comes off the (fake) torque shaft so it's sticking down at a funny angle. I'm probably going to wait until I install the tranny before I put the final bends in the arm to make sure I get it right.
I have manufactured a bracket for the rod end and that is my next project.

Yes I am crazy!1
