    Thanks for the extra photos. We played around with a B&M cable for a little while. We'll need to source some additional pieces to make that work. We wound up welding the two stock I6 shift rods together for now. Seems to work just fine.

    Awesome! I ran mine forever like that. I had to fine tune it a little bit and eventually I had to pin my motor mounts because the headers would push it into 2nd gear under full throttle from a stop.
