Stop in for a cup of coffee

They never made a 440 A body with column shift. Even in 69 when you could get an M code cuda or dart, they all had mandatory floor shift because I don't know how you are going to get the shift linkage past the driver side exhaust manifold or header. That's all fab stuff there.

I don't deal too much with automatics so I am not sure what people have made work before

I have fenderwell headers so I should have clearance - at least appears i will. I guess I assumed that a 71 A body with column shift and 727 would have a standard linkage. Thank you all. I will see what can be put together.
