I love the short shifter handle of the E and B body slapstick, the Ebody console is a little too wide but it will fit. I like the look of the A body console better, and is a better fit but I feel like the the short shifter be moved too far forward?
Maybe if you're tall, but I have found that the shifter is in a good place. I've tried to modify an A-body shifter, but have not come up with a method that works. I may try again one of these days, but I like the short shifter.
