SA to FB
OK so after searching till my head hurt I didn't see a clear cut answer.
Has anyone tried to put a FB shifter into a SA, if so what did/didn't work.
What I am wondering specifically is other than the differences in interior what is different. How big of a difference in the tail shaft how big a difference in the tranny tunnel opening etc.
Thanks

If you are wanting the shift position of the FB. than you have to use the FB trans. You will have to cut the floor opening back another 2 inches for the shifter to clear. Then you will need to make/modify a floor seal. It's not that hard to do, been there done that. Plus you will enjoy the taller overdrive the FB trans has to offer. Which is nice on the interstate . The hole in the floor is the only differance. The trans mount, speedo cable, and crossmember are the same.

if you're talking about just the shift lever, it could be done, but the locating pin is on the other side, so it would have to move, or something

This should give you an idea on the tunnel modification.
