Question Whats the deal with FMX's ???

Do any shifter manufacturers (hurst, b&m) make any aftermarket shifters for the FMX auto transmission? Does anybody make any custom shifters for them in the style like the "Megashifter" or a race shifter?

As far as i know, theres nothing for the FMX, unless i pay 200+ dollars for a complete custom shifter, the kind that they have in hot rods (the single stick thingy), Those things are ugly and i want something comfortable.

And why do many header companies say that their 351c 71-73 mustang headers wont fit with an FMX auto? i know a guy with a 73 grande 351c 2v , who put the headmans (they say it will only fit around a c4) in and there was no problem... There is so much i dont know about the fmx, theres no info anywhere on it that i know of.

All the factors ive seen so far point out that the FMX is a lost cause, throw it away and get a c4, kinda transmission. And changing trannies is one thing that i cannot afford or do anytime soon! Im only 16!

Thanks for all your help!
