1965 Dart Gt 904 Trans Shift Cable Help.

I have been working on a solution that I think will work. I am posting some pics before, and after. The first pic is of the factory floor shifter, so nice I have to use it. See the pics. The second is of the linkage on the tranny, like so many of you know well. The third pic is of the tranny end of the cable for the 65. The last pic is of the modified end to fit the tranny. I still need to figure out the shorter throw of the cable. I think I can get away with drilling a hole in the linkage closer to the tranny.
