At that time the trans to handle the power was the Galaxie version with a long tailstock and the shifter rearward (remember this came out of a full size car and the back of the engine was close to three feet away from the shifter hole in the tunnel) so the reversal was required. Had this been 1970 there would have been Mustang and Fairlane applications with mid mounted locations for the shifter and a greater choice of Ford/Hurst shifters and rods.
