I'm not too bothered about the "not original" thing, because if I don't do any cutting or welding of the car, it's reversable. > The only problem was the original > shifter knob said 4 speeds and the xmission had 5. I don't recall any "mate > up" problems, in fact I don't recall having to adjust the shift linkage. Great information, thank you _very_ much. So, does anyone have a B engine with or without a 4 or 5 speed transmission somewhere near-ish Wisconsin that's for sale? Old and tired but rebuildable is fine. As to the old engine, I've got pictures forthcoming but let's just say I have a mason jar of gravel-sized engine parts on my desk at the moment. Dave Hinz
