Super Stock Barracuda questions

Yes, that is the correct shifter and console. See the Darts did not have the hole in floor so Hurst made a hole. On the Barracuda I am trying to find out if the factory left the hole for the factory console linkage and use that for the cable or it was not stamp and hurst grilled a hole.
Anybody?
Why would the Dart be different than the Barracuda?
