So what we've accomplished here is that the distance between the motormounts to the shifter hole on 70 and 87-93 stangs is the same.

We have also determined that the distance between the mount surface of the 5oh bell and rear TKO shifter is the same as a mount surface of a toploader bell and a toploader shifter.

So what if I had bought the TKO swap version with the longer input shaft that bolts right in place of the toploader, used the 4 speed bell, and 164 tooth fw, and 11 inch clutch, and linkage? Then my shifter would be back farther? Or is the bell not deeper?
