it was bolted to the trans   

 

.....if fitted directly to the trans it was probably a factory shifter body......the Hurst Comp Plus and others required the

adapter plate both for positioning and rigidity.......no way would the Hurst shifter body line up with the

factory 3 or 5 tail shaft mounting holes.............

When I replaced the shifter in the "Chief(just before I sold it) I used a complete assembly from Hurst that was supposedly designed for a '66-'67 GTO bench for speed. It was cheaper to buy the assembly-$250- than buy the handle and shifter separately. I worked really well. My 2 cents.........

My only concern is that wouldn't come out of the floor at the right spot. Do you happen to have any pictures of that installation?
