    What is the distance from the firewall...

    ...to the base of the shifter (center of the boot) on a 1963 Galaxie?

    Sorry no one has been able to answer.  I would measure my 62 (same basic floor pan) but my shifter is not stock.  I put it where the T5 came up through the floor.  I did some internet looking and here is the factory shift hole for a 63 Galaxie.  Wont get you an exact measurement but should get you close.

    Thanks, Daze.  I'm converting to a 5.4L Cobra Jet engine with a TR6060 transmission.  The transmission has a couple shifter locations and I was just looking for some info to help me gauge which location might be a better starting point. - Garrett
