One other thing. Unless you had the engine in the angle may have been wrong and the shifter is real close when it's right.

I also agree with Mike on the looks of the reverse rod.




Jim, when I mocked it up it was with a bare 400 block, heads, and intake, with the same bell housing, block plate, etc. Now it is attached to a different motor (383). If it is that close "when it is right" then maybe things have changed just enough.

The car is up on jack stands so all the weight of the motor, and front end may be moving things around slightly.

The reverse rod has lots (all relative when you are talking about a big block in an A body of course, lol) of clearance.

Once I make some clearance, I need to get the shifter handle on and make sure there is clearance for the rods in all positions.
