We are thinking 5.9 magnum in a 63 newport- (mods-before you move this- pretty sure 60-61 had the same mount?- and it seemed like a street rod type question-lol) We can't find anyone who makes a swap mount (schumacher etc.) Any ideas,fab tips, anyone already done it? Also- how to make the pushbutton work with the 518 od without breaking the bank! (checked into Imperial sevices-too steep for our blood!) Thanks in advance guys! If you can't outrun it-Outlaw it!

Thanks in advance guys! i know the deal you speak about with the conversion. that is why i am aquiring as many junk pushbutton shifters as i can, because i want to figure out how this can be accomplished and share the info here. then it may become "affordable" to anyone.

Might be easier to make your own here. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Now we have to figure out out to make the pushbutton work with the 518 without spending 600 bux!! I'm glad Imperial services has this stuff, but the prices are more hemi cuda than C body!!!!
