71 Dart - Fitting the floor shifter

Hello, I just did that a few months ago with a 72. Converted from auto to 4 speed. I had to do no work at all to the torsion bar cross member. Keep in mind the shifter mount angles forward. Yes, you must peel the sheet metal off ( the floor to install 4 speed hump), but no mods should be necessary if you are using the correct parts. Be careful though, there are more than one A body shifter adapters ( the aluminum block that bolts to the trans tail) . You want the late one. If you need, I can find the number you need. The number you do not want is 2298 as that is early A body.

Good luck
