273 motor question

It's not a big deal but you will have to change to an aftermarket floor shifter because the OEM regardless of where it's mounted, will use the two-cable setup. I have a complete B body '65 273 2bbl drivetrain in the garage. It turns with a socket and I'm told it ran and drove into the shop that pulled it. But the cables were cut so at least the trans has to be opened up.
