Factory 4 sp. console w/ new 6 sp trans

I have a T56 magnum in my Duster with the ToddRon crossmember and run a console. The console is not in that factory location, it sits several inches further back to line up the shifter with the hole in the 4-speed console top plate. I don’t believe you could make it work with the factory console location, but I could be wrong. I just used the standard shift location on the transmission.

I am going to get an American Powertrain offset shifter which will move the shift handle attach point forward. Then the original style factory console shifter handle slopes forward before it bends over and back. I also have to cut weld base of reproduction console shift handle which gives me more flexibility. So given all that I think I can get console in the factory location but won't know for sure until later in the project. If I get forced to slide console back some will resort to that but will have to see.....
