Just to poke the fire, did you try reversing the rod where the bend goes upwards? It may interfere with the other shift rod, don't know. That bend may be to clear the other shift rod. I would have at least tried it by now.

Here is my original 64 Barracuda 3-4 rod. I usually just take the rod out to the trailer hitch on the Jeep and "tweek" it using the slots for the safety chains. Nice controlled and you won't soften the heated metal.

I have another question/concern.
I don't have a picture, but the front of the oil pan is pretty much touching the K member. The motor supports are new, but maybe not the correct ones? I found the link below, would those remedy the issue?

I'm embarressed to say I don't know where I bought them! But they look like they were "sagging" already.
Those are wrong for sure.

WEll, I consider that a good thing that they are not correct, what is correct?
See post #330. See if some one has some here.

I ordered some, good advice on the Rock auto. they have great prices, but their shipping costs really bite.
yup.. they are awesome for looking up part numbers though

I don't know why I was thinking that the shifter rod was going to be really tough to bend, but it was rather easy! I'm pleased with it now;) Can't thank everyone enough 
I think with the new motor/transmission supports will be good too;)

Looks great now, i assume you had to move the adjuster in a bit when putting it back on?I don't know why I was thinking that the shifter rod was going to be really tough to bend, but it was rather easy! I'm pleased with it now;) Can't thank everyone enough

no, it went right in the hole, maybe some fine adjustments along the way, but I'm not putting those linkage retainers in until it's time, those things are a pain to remove.
If the last picture of the trans from the rear is how it sits now with the shim under the driver side engine mount, it needs more shim . Also that bracelet seems to be bent at the mount .
Also the rubber idolaters seem to be under stress . Have been replaced ?

Hey Glen;) I've ordered new engine mounts and a transmission mount. I guess I had ordered the wrong motor mounts a while back, hopefully the new ones may raise it a bit, I hope.
this pic?
this pic?
Those are the way wrong mounts. The ones you linked to above look correct.
You have to be careful with them also. I have sent back a lot of early A stuff that was flat out wrong.
