Any cable shifter would work with the right gate, just a lever like a 727 and no kick down lever, works off vacuum. Hot rod ingenuity will be required.
I wouldn't even bother if it didn't have overdrive in 4th or 5th. Waste of time.


Depends on what the lower gear ratios are whether it would be a waste of time or not. A 4something:1 1st with good progressions to a 1:1 5th would make a 2.76 diff pretty sporty.
