So, Gary, I thought you wanted to just drive it not race it.....
Why dontcha just go get a 5 speed out of a 3/4 ton chevy truck that had a SBC of the sameish year as your engine/van.
Bolt them together, and cut a hole in the floor where-ever the shifter wants to poke thru.
Bend the lever to a place where you can use it. Move on.....
I know i've said this to ya before, but , it isnt and doesnt have to be rocket science.
I,ve seen pictures of all the progress made so far on some of those peoples vans.
Rebel put his corvette rear end in so long ago, it was on the original site.
Same thing goes for So-caliV8's V8 , and now you hardly ever see him on here anymore.
Probably has more kids, grandkids or a different project now or some other "life" going on.
Could ya ask your son or son in law or grandson to come help you build it ?
