I've had it with repeated stiff column shift problems. Any ideas on floor shift conversions? Your help is appreciated.

Yelovet:

When I had my 1st 57 as a kid, I put a Hurst Competition Plus 3-speed floor shift behind my 272. Shifted and looked great. No power shifts though, not long after I got that car I ran it out to 45 mph in low gear. Yep, sucked a valve. No tach, no hanging big shifts. LOL

I just saw one for sale on the ford barn, I think it was in the late V8 class of posts. Mark
