I drove a FFR car recently that had a 302 with a Tremec five speed and the shifter was bent forward in typical cobra style. I didn't like it because I felt that I was shifting up and down instead of fore and aft. But, I guess I could get used to it. Now looking at the pictures that ArubaCobra has posted during his buildup I noticed that his toploader shifter is straight up and positioned just about right for some good "speedshifting". Does the shifter on a toploader sit that much further forward than a Tremec? Is ArubaCobra using a standard Hurst or is something "trick" going on there?
Thanks,
