It might be off topic but besides buying a floor shifter has anyone mentioned the extra gear and existing shifter I mean like I suppose the 200r4 s were installed in ss monte Carlos seems like they all have floor shifters .Question comes to mind if there were column shifted g bodys with some similar parts so if your changing from a 350 th you might find or swop a different part that would be different for a column shifted indicators the letter part P R D 3 2 1 instead of p r d 2 1 ect comments ? I did find a part for a truck possibly feasible....

I can speak for the round gauge set up on the Monte Carlo/Malibu/El Camino in that there is a plate used to cover the standard 3 speed shift pattern at the base of the speedometer. I believe they also used a blank panel without the pointer in 1978-80 when a manual transmission was ordered. Below is the plate from an 86.

I swapped a 2004R into my Regal but found the colum shifter only shifts down to second gear, it only has 3 forward detents. So drive is really OD, 3rd is really drive, etc.
