thank you, the 70 Cuda was an original 904 console shift.
the 408 has ported heads and needed the tti 1-7/8 headers.
collectors are 3-1/2 , tti said to flip the adjuster end of linkage over , so it comes in from the top so there is clearance.
its a standard pattern v b , ( shifting towards neutral) , don't want to put in a aftermarket shifter, in your experience ..... will the stock slap stick style shifter work fine?
