Well the time has come to where I've finally kicked it into high gear on getting my Alpine up and running. Got a shweet 302 built up and almost ready to drop in, and I figured I'd better get my transmission question out of the way. I noticed that the P.O. of my car who initially started the swap cut fairly far back to between the seats, and that is where my shifter will be and I probably won't be able to use my center console. I know about the AMC tail shaft to put the shifter in the location of a Tigers, but they're hard to find. Does anybody know of an alternative tail housing I can bolt up to bring my shifter closer to my dash so I can keep my console? Also, would anybody happen to have the overall length of their T5 setup from bell housing to the end of the tail housing? And also (sorry, I'm new to tinkering on transmissions) what is needed to be able to use my stock speedometer? I read chevy T5 tail housings won't allow a ford speedo cable to hook up and seems like a big hassle. Sorry if these are kind of worn out questions. Used the search feature and looked around but couldn't find much info to help. Here is a picture I took of it before winter hit... I have a transmission tunnel but it was removed for paint.
Thanks! Kyle
