A500 or 42rh lower linkage bracket question

[Rob Birch]

question.

I am hoping there is a solution. I test fitted my engine with A500 tranny into my 69 Barracuda and with the modifications I have done it fits great. I have just realized that my A500 doesn't appear to have the holes for the lower bracket of the factory style consul linkage set up. Hopefully someone has fabricated a solution here that allows me to use my factory shifter linkage torque shaft set up? Pics would be fantastic.

Right around post 57 or 58 you'll see the info you're looking for.
@moparmat2000 came up with the lowdown.

You need to mod the linkage going through the floor as well. Look at post #59 to do this to clear the side of the O/D unit.
