I'm sure you guys are all correct and it was the easiest thing at the time to just reverse the shift lever, and job done.....but it has always seemed an anomaly from Shelby practice as this is the guy that took a 10 year old design with a small 6 cylinder engine, and first stuffed in a 260, and then a 427....and then a 427 with two massive Paxtons!
If a bracket wasn't currently available to move the shifter and lever forward by 3", then it would have taken Phil Remington two minutes to sketch up a bracket, and an hour for one of the mechanics to make it up and shorten the rods.
OK, I'm over-thinking it
