How to get rid of push button shift cables
And I bet your early Valiant has a 904 and not a 727.
Nope, it's got a 727, toolman, as well as an 8-3/4" Dana Power Lock positraction. I did have to enlarge the floorboard hump to accommodate the 727.
I don't think anybody mentioned the possibility of installing a manual valve body. Wouldn't that get rid of the shift cable, and then I would just have to worry about actuating the park cable somehow?

Sorry, I didn't understand how a manual valve body works, but a friend clued me in. The answer may be to use longer shift cables rather than trying to get rid of them. That way they could be routed far forward, in front of the headers.
