440 in duster with floor console shifter
Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a 1971 duster that has a 318/904 and I’m going to be attempting to swap in a 440/727 that I snagged out of a 68 Newport. What I’m wanting is to try and make it look as stock as possible because I’m not a big fan of aftermarket floor shifters. Is it possible to keep my stock console and shifter when doing the swap? If so, can I keep all the same linkage that is currently there or is there a set up I will have to get? I will be changing the kickdown to a cable shift as well. Thanks in advance!
