Hi there. I would appreciate your advice. The installation of my new engine
is being held up by a problem I had with my custom Hurst shifter. I may have
mentioned this before, but one of the shift arms (reverse) was angled
incorrectly and the tailshaft pedestal interfered with it. Ugh. So I had to
send it back to the guy who built it for me to be redone. He tested it on a
Galaxie tailshaft, which is a bit different than the Tiger's. Anyway, it's
taking more time than I expected and am wondering whether anyone feels
strongly, one way or the other, if a low miles original shifter is good
enough, or whether it's worth the wait for the Hurst shifter. I expect to
have the Hurst shifter back maybe late next week if all goes well. The car is
now up on stands with the crossmember removed. All I have to do at this point
is disconnect the drive shaft, the speedometer cable, the headers, and drop
the engine -- and lift the new one in place. Easy-peasy. Getting the
crossmember lined back up looks like it will be hellishly hard. I know there
must be some trick to it!!! Thanks.
