Looking good - But I'd suggest using the mid-shift location for a 289

I decided to go with an Edelbrock air gap intake and 750cfm quickfuel carb initially instead of fuel injection. I might switch to fuel injection later, but for now I am in too big of a hurry to fool around with programming a computer.

Here you can see the anatomy of the Tremec Shifter. Simply remove the two hex screws and the springs under them, then pull out the shifter mechanism that comes with the tremec. There is a pin in the shifter mechanism that must be removed and transferred to the kirkham billet shifter. I used a brass punch and hammer to remove it and had to get quite aggressive with the hammer in order to apply enough force to get the pin to move. I then wrapped the Kirkham billet shifter and carefully drove the pin into place. Next, grease the shifter, place the tabs on top, slide the forks back over the taps, insert the springs, and screw the allen head bolts back in place and it's finished. Took about ten minutes total.
