Yes, that is what I am contemplating. I know I'm going to have to shorten the shaft and move the box quite a bit, because I would like to keep the shifter in the stock position. We'll see for sure how much I have to move it once I get the engine settled into final position. Hopefully I won't run into problems shortening it as radically as it appears that I will need to.
