From initial measurements on my 59 project (big block with 4L80E transmission) I believe I can use a Lokar tail mount shifter and it should come very close to being in the original shifter location.
I know from past posts that several members of this forum have installed Lokar floor mount shifters in their cars and I would like to ask why that mounting system was chosen. I would think that mounting the shifter to the transmission (if possible) would be more desirable because there would be no chance of movement between the shifter and the transmission; however, the floor mount would undoubtedly transmit less heat up through shifter. In either case I would appreciate any other opinions on this subject.
Thanks,
Charles
