I'm guessing I will need the tunnel hump to weld in but what about the console can you make the automatic work with the 4spd and dies anyone sell a short throw shifter design thanks all

You will need a difference top plate as the cutouts are different for that as well. The tabs that mount to the transmission and the shifter linkages on my transmission have 2 different mounting spots. I guess the ones closer to the shifter forks are "shorter"

I got a template for the console cutout and you need to weld on a new mount for the front of the console, the rear mount is the same as auto. Brewers sells a NEW Hurst shifter that works perfect. They sell a great petal kit as well. The driveshaft is the same for auto or 4 spd and so is the tranny mount .

Well, i'm doing it while rebuilding the rest of the car, but it isn't cheap at all. You need: Transmission Shifter Shifter handle (pistol grip!) Shift linkages Bell housing Clutch fork Clutch (pressure plate, throwout bearing, disk) Flywheel Four speed tunnel hump Rod between pedals and zbar Z bar Z bar pivot bracket for framerail 4 speed pedals, and bracket for the pedals. New carpet for 4 speed tunnel hump A host of small kits for the clutch linkage (buy complete units from brewers) You also need to make sure you have a pilot hole drilled and reamed in your crankshaft. NO cast crank has this. Some steel cranks are drilled, but not reamed. You could always cut off the end of the input shaft and run a bearing/bushing in the register of the crank. Good luck!
