So just to update. I found out that although the tranny is the same for a straight or V6, The linkage shaft in the tranny has to be rotated if moved from one type of engine to another. It seems that my tranny was from a straight 6 so an acquaintance I knew simply rotated the linkage and shaft and it fit and worked ... Maybe this will help somebody in the future.. we spent so much time trying to get it figured out and Gary knew the problem right off...
