on my 79 bu I have swapped out the 350 trans for the 700r4. I have the column shifter still and plan on keeping it. I already changed the shifter gate block with one from a caprice year so it will move down 1 more position to hold 1st. has anyone converted from the oem linkage at the column to a cable to the trans. I called summit tech and pointed me to lokar and ididit and after calling the two of them it appears for their kits to work I need 2inch of space from firewall and 5-6inches from column to driver side fender. I don't recall that kind of room there. has anyone done anything like this or seen a setup? thanks.
