Actually what I was thinking was instead of a new bell ( because the one I have is a unicorn) I would change the tail shaft or just put something together from gm cars if I chang the tail shaft and rear housing I could use a slip yoke and could also have the shifter in a little better position

So it's time for an update to let you guys in on what's been going on so things are moving slow due to money and the attempt on changing shifter location and this is where I stand
This is the shift linkage cover Thingy doo dad.......

This obviously has a extension shaft so the position would be perfect for a solstice however I need it forward so my plan is to put a metal sleeve over shift selector ball... Completely making names up here lol

The sleeve will be about 3/4 higher then the ball to exept the old shifter

And it will all be held in place by an adapter made from this block of aluminum that will never be cut rite

And that's my progress........ Lol

Does anyone forsee (is that how u spell it) any problems with this

Also I finally ordered the engine wrap around harness

JimH · 01-24-2012, 07:42 AM

What if ya did something like this?

dmyers151 · 01-24-2012, 09:31 AM

Get in touch with Bill, I know he's got a solution for you.

Quest4thestars · 01-24-2012, 09:51 AM

Ok so the shifter u show is basically exactly what I have the problem being the bottom
sOs a ball I need a socket to fit, two balls don't mesch I need ball and socket but then again haven't seen the underside of that shifter if it has socket could work

Quest4thestars · 01-24-2012, 09:56 AM

Will try to contact bill

Quest4thestars · 01-27-2012, 12:47 AM

Getting shifty

Quest4thestars · 01-29-2012, 02:45 PM

Welded up the sleeve and took the die grinder to it( not the best weld I know)

Got the engine wire harness on Friday

Quest4thestars · 02-02-2012, 06:10 PM

rt2002 · 07-15-2012, 01:43 AM

hows the swap going,.I bought a 89 conquest about 8 years ago with a blown turbo started working on it and got sidetracked for a few years.just got a srt4dcr stroker motor 800+hp need all the advice I can get.

Quest4thestars · 07-16-2012, 10:31 PM

It's very annoying because I'm going above and beyond with a ton of stuff I probably could have had it it and running if I just bought a complete srt motor and trans but instead I've gone and bought everything separate also IM
