Until 1970 they were different. You cannot just bolt a shifter on a big block trans as the mounts are too far forward, you have to have the adapter plate to put the shifter in the right spot. Did you know that the trans crossmember is different for a big block and small block too? Here is a big block shifter setup: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4538696084&category=34202&sspagename=WDVW note the adapter plate in the foreground that allows a Mustang shifter to be mounted on a Fairlane tailshaft housing. Also note that this is a correct big block shifter and you can tell by the picture of the backside of the linkage. On a big block shifter the inner shift lever is not flat like a smallblock, it actually bends towards the trans which is why the adapter plate is cut out rather than just a large flate plate. It is not my shifter but it sure looks like he has all the right stuff! Hawkrod |
