My car is a 65 SD with a 4 speed trans m21, how long from u joint to u joint on centre, yolk length, shaft diameter. Thanks...

I was looking to put manuel transmission in my car. it came whit a M20 original but i want a overdrive and i dont want to modify the floor and keep the 4speed console. Is it better to put a overdrive on the back off the M20 or buy a Richmond 5 speed. Is the Richmond gone a fit the 4 speed console.

My question is will the shifter from a late sixties camaro work with my 65 SD providing I had the right consul shift arm, and if not then what other options do I have. Would appreciate any advice on which route to take to get a shifter that will work in the car Thank you in advance.
