Question Shift Location
I have both the bent and straight shifters for a custom toploader (4 speed wide ratio). ERA recommends a distance of 17" from front flange to forward bolt of the shifter housing. This toploader is 19 1/2" comparable. I'd prefer a functioning "reverse" lockout (both shifters have that) but it looks like I may have to use the "bent" shifter turned backwards (w/o the lockout) or use the straight shifter and accept the fact its further back.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. On the "wait" list and just trying to fill the time by getting the engine (351W - somewhere over 400hp) and transmission ready for the "big" day.

Thanks
