use to street race back in the fiftys and early sixtys with a three on the tree car 
I ended up buying one of the cheaper floor shifters and never went back

Too much linkage to bow and bend.... floor shifter is
the only way for racing

My buddy runs a 58 Mercury in the Pure Stock drags. 1st gear isn't even synchronized so the whole gear moves on the 1-2 shift. It might get a fully synchro unit this year. It runs a 430 tri-power MEL (Mercury Edsel Lincioln) motor. 14.0@100 4100lbs with 8.25x15 bias plys.
