So a repro Tremec console pistol grip shifter will do the trick?
Would I have the issue of bangin' the dash into 3rd?
Or will it warrant having to change shifting rods etc... as replied above?
Joe the Tremec/Keisler stick IMHO is the only other thing out there for you to use that would require little to no mods to acheive your goal, as far as "shortening" the shifter rods, I think they mean the hole location on the arms, as the closer you are to the pivot point center of an arm, the shorter the throw, but more force is required,...if your using a factory/Hurst box, IMHO you'll be OK with the console shifter, as it is positioned more rearward/down towards you the driver than the "boat rowing" benchseat shifter,...I've driven quite a few FACTORY bench and console 70 Pistol grip shifted cars, they're all long stroke shifters because of the increased arm length of the shifter, the bench seat models are the knuckle/dash bashers,...but a sloppy console shifter box can get close too......hope this helps
