Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

THE GRINCH GOT AN AWFUL WONDERFUL IDEA!!! Well I got this idea about the gussets on the rod end bracket. I didn't feel like totally disassembling that darn torque shaft again right after I had gotten it perfectly aligned with the new rod end. So I puzzeled and puzzeled til my puzzler was broke. I came up with a way to brace the rod end without removing and welding and reassembling. Since the rod end had plenty of threads still showing I manufactured a brace to attach to it back to one of the bolts. It worked out great. Then I removed the shifter and made up some wires with eye connectors and put it all together. It worked out pretty nice and it's still very strong!!:cheers:
Now I have to wait for the reverse switch. I plan on drilling a small hole in tunnel above the tranny, install a small grommet and run the wires under the floor to the tranny switch wires. When I install the 2004R I can simply splice the original tranny switch wires to the wires leading to the console. Once I get the reverse switch I might even hook everything (to the tranny switch wires) up ahead of time in case I need to work out any bugs.

PS - I even threw in a couple of pics of the '46 Chevy I built for my son. It was a stripped down empty shell on a bare frame when I bought it.
