One thing I can perhaps offer, although I am embarrassed to admit, is that at least on my '63 you can put the crossember under the frame rail rather than in the U section.

It does make the crossmember more visible in the side view, and it does mess with your u joint angles unfavorably - but it also allows the installation (TH400, in my case) with out a lot of savage brutality to the floor pan.

You can see it towards the forward edge of the door; I've been meaning to go back and redo this but have not done it yet -

Keith,

I've seen that more than a few times. Whatever works is good with me!!

Whoops...wrong pix posted! This is NOT the Lokar linkage. The posted pix is when I was trying to make my own linkage and adapt it to the stock setup. It didn't work out because of the extreme offset.

My car is currently in winter storage; I'll try to get a pix of the Lokar setup later this week and post it this weekend or sooner.
