Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

Oh I forgot to mention...I had to make the fake rod end out of a piece of metal then cut off the top end where 1/2 of the bearing goes. There's no way to slide the actual rod end onto the torque shaft because the lower bell crank (lever) is welded onto the torque shaft. If I cut it off I can't drive my Cuda. So I made that small piece of metal to represent the rod end and be able to put it in place between the torque shaft and the tunnel bulge just under the shifter boot. I can't see why it won't work but until I get the 200R4 under the car I will not know EXACTLY how much clearance I'll have to clear the torque shaft and the rod end with relation to the 200R4 housing. All my mock-ups say it can be done but "REALITY" bites!!!
