Having a hard time getting the site to respond. Sorry no words. I have a nice 67 cuda notch. Like you I don't want th cut it up. I'd be very interested in installing the 2004r in it. Plus I'd be very interested in using the factory floor shifter in it. My only other choice is a tko600 5 speed and it reguires a complete conversion of the car and quite a bit of floor cutting. Sorry to ride on your coat tails, but I'm on a limited budget,so don't have the funds to experiment... And it seems you have it all figured out. Thanks.
