lokar shifter

I had a 57 chevy truck before and put one of these in. They have a reverse lockout to prevent that. It's a really nice shifter honestly. I just don't know how good it would look in a car. But that picture above is the one I was looking at. Just don't know which way best to mount or length of shifter.

Ah, ok.
Now that you mention it I see it looks like it has to be pulled to the left for the lockout.
My opinion is that it wouldn't look bad at all if it was cut down about half way.

Mounting to the trans like in the picture is pretty much always the best way to mount because the trans and body can move independently of each other throwing off the consistency of it's movement.
