The frame mount bracket and column rod from the corresponding year and model car is the same for either trans 904/727 but the cross shaft, trans bracket and trans rod are very different from 904/727 It is not only the width on the shaft that is different it is also the placement and length of the one lever on the shaft. To make it function correctly you should get the correct parts or you could as mentioned cut, bend and weld the choice is yours. I just sold 5 complete 727 automatic A-Body column shift set-ups and only have one more available currently so if your interested PM me
BTW i also have quite a few 904 set ups for the 67-70,the 71-73 and 74-76 which are also different for those years
