Is it possible to adapt the cable operated console shifter in a '64 Polara 500 to work with the '66 and later 727?

Your going to have to make some special pieces yourself. In this day and age of aftermarket cable shifters I don't see a reason why you couldn't adapt one to do what you need. Biggest issue will probably be getting the ratio correct. I don't see how you will be able to use the factory cable itself, but by replacing it with an aftermarket cable everything else from an aftermarket kit will bolt on the trans and function the same. Talk to any of your buddies you run GM or Ford. If they installed an aftermarket shifter in something they have the pieces you need left over in their box of parts. Then just buy a cable. Its all in how bad you want to do it.

If you call Imperial tell Steve if you get him that Rocky and his son Jesse sent you.He is pretty busy but is a great guy to deal with.Rocky

rocky, do you know if their turnaround time has improved ? seems there has been a lot of complaints about that in the past.
