Full manual valve body forward pattern?

inertia said
I would like to mention the forward shift v/b without a gate installed on the shifter, to prevent pushing thru to neutral is an invitation to disaster. I have attended a few grenaded engines that scattered after the driver, in the adrenalin rush of the moment, pushed thru to neutral, with terminal results. I prefer reverse pattern cuz I can use the stock shifter, and can't push thru. Stock shifters can be modified with a gate for reg pattern. jmo. cheers.

ya, the first 5yrs or so i had it i was using the stock column shifter :eek: it will does make you up your game knowing the carnage is only a shift away :D

Thanks for mentioning Cope they have a reverse manual for a 500/518 but WOW it’s $1100. Ouch.

depends on your needs. the cope VB is not just a shift kit on a stock 20yr old valve body. other hand, just running around on the street a good shift kit is sweet.

personally i love the winners shifters. https://www.polyperformance.com/art-carr-winters-shifter you can swap the gates out if you change what your running
