That is the key here, you really want the later full synchro 3 speed from the late 60's or early 70's. The driveability is much much better.Just relocating to the floor doesn't solve the clash issue these non synchro 3 speeds are notorious for. Never done the conversion but it does require some mods. The bellhousing hole needs to be enlarged or replaced with a late 60's bell. The driveshaft may need to be shortened and parking brake cable?
