How's the shifter placement on the T56? I heard the 6060 is great since it's more adjustable.

the magnum is 5-6 inches too short, I'm currently waiting on a custom relocation shifter to be made. I could not find a 6060 for a decent price so I picked up this new one, and I liked that it uses a slip yoke

V8 Roadsters mounting kit, their fit and finish is great

Can't remember hearing anything bad about V8R. Their stuff isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, it seems.

I've met the son father duo before. Great guys, my father picked up one of their V8R spec cars for HPDE. They take care of their customers and know their stuff. The father's got some incredible build stories like setting up a few jets for Dale Earnhardt back in the day.

Also, this is the cleanest install I've ever seen. Keep it up!

Shifter placement is spot on, throws are nice and tight
