Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

Finally got the cuda off the car lift. Pre-fitted all my homemade 2004r tranny/cross member brackets and found no problems. Tested the speedo cable extension and rerouted the cable. Put a some undercoating on the underside. I also found one interesting fact...if you install a rod end in the car (under the console) like I did you can't remove the lower torque shaft brace/arm. The torque shaft has to be able to move side to side in order to remove the lower bracket. Since I had the upper rod end in place the shaft is rigid. It rotates easily but won't move side to side. This won't be a problem but it was unexpected. It tells me that the upper rod end will adequately support the shaft after I cut off the lower half of the torque shaft. Got the Neutral Safety switch and the pre-'69 reverse light switch installed wired and working. It was probably more trouble removing the console than anything else. My gauges and stereo are mounted under the A/C so I had to remove the gauges to get the console out. Anyway, while I was under the console I also wired in a back-up system for the neutral safety switch. I figured that if the N/S switch ever failed I wouldn't want to have to remove the console in some parking lot to get the car started so I wired in a regular toggle switch from the N/S to the toggle switch then to ground. I'll mount the back-up N/S switch (on a small bracket) just under the console lip so I can reach it by sliding my hand/fingers under the driver's side console. No one will know it's there but if the shifter mounted N/S switch ever fails I can still start my car. For those who may not know (most of you probably know) the neutral safety wiring is simply a ground wire that normally runs (in my car) to the transmission and when the car is in PARK or NEUTRAL the wire is grounded by a pawl in the tranny. All I had to do is cut/spice in a wire to go to the shifter switch (see previous posts) that I bought at the Auto Parts. The reverse light is just as simple, it has two wires that get connected when the car is in reverse. When I install the 2004r I won't have to worry about these switches since they are already connected and working from the console. I am quickly running out of things to do to prepare the Cuda for the new tranny. I feel as if I forgotten something but really can't think of anything else??? I guess I just start porting the heads for the 318/390 STROKER>:burnout:
