904 to 727 Swap

Should the one I am looking to purchase have a certain number of holes or configuration for the linkage?

Can I put the correct yoke on the drive shaft and have it shortened or is more cost effective to just buy a new drive shaft?

Thanks again.

Yes. the bottom bracket for the stock shifter bolts to the bottom of the transmisison tail housing. In the photo below, you can see the two holes on the bottom of the tail right behind the pan This of course only applies to factory console shifters



I would keep the driveshaft as is--you MIGHT want to put the 904 back in some day. You could find a junk B shaft and have it shortened
