:
:89 should be a standard run of the mill AOD.
:If it will fit your tunnel, the Lokar TV cable works fine, takes about 10 minutes to bolt in, requires no modifications.
:the shifter could be interesting, but I made a couple of parts to use a cable on mine. the Lokar cable cost $51 from Summit, the crossmember is about $59 at Windsor-fox.com.
:Rickyracer may have a better fitting set of headers than I do, thus better shifter linkage, but Hooker Super Comps fit perfect if I was still using the C4, however the AOD takes up more space, forced me to use a little creative thinking on my shifter linkage, it would be alot easier if I used a floor shifter, but I want everything to look stock.
:btw, as for parts modification, before my headers, my crossmember bolted in behind its stock location, I just had to put in a spacer so it wouldn't compress the crossmember, the TV rod just needed some bends to work with my tighter firewall clearances, I flipped over the shift lever in the tranny and added an additional 3+/- inches to my shifter linkage, nothing big at all.

Thanks buddy. I will be using a floor shift for sure, preferably a B&M model with cable. I WILL attempt this and I will keep ya posted. Wish me luck.
