Just to throw this out there

I was thinking of using the Saco shifter box. Cut a hole in the tunnel right behind the stock shifter big enough to fit the box through. That way you could slide the box forward bolt it up then have access to the uni joint. One behind the shifter and the other at the nose cone. The rod inside the box is support at both ends, and because the bushings are brass the shifting should be like ice even though the difference in angles.
