I have a 65 coronet I put in a 2000 durango motor into used the stock 727 that came behind my poly 318. 1 bolt doesn't line up and I could not reuse the braces that bolt between the block and transmission, but has been running fine with it for the last 2 or 3 years.

There are a couple of choices find another cable shifted BB trans(see cores for them on the classifieds here) use a later model and a later model floor shifter. I think it is agreed that the imperial services adapter is crap. BUT I did notice the later truck/ van's late 90's and up seem to use some sort of cable to shift their transmissions. When I was stealing parts to do the kick down parts for my magnum swap, I noticed that there were cables instead of linkages doing the shifting for those vans. might be a way to adapt that to the pushbutton stuff, but someone would have to measure the throws vs the movment from the buttons.
