look at:

the B-body shifter mount provision is closer to the maincase mating
surface than an A-body's tailhousing.    an A-833 input shaft is the
same length among all 4spds,  so the A833 maincase is always the
same distance from the engine regardless of what type of 4spd (A/B/C/E)
and all maincases are the same length, so I don't know how an A-body
tailhousing will position the shifter farther foward (i.e. closer to the
firewall) than a B-body tailhousing.

shows the B-body shift rods,  the A-body shift rods are much longer,
that should also show that the A-body shifter location is more 
rearward of the maincase than that of a B-body.

Ben, are you thinking of the location of the E-body shifter provision 
in relationship to the A-body shifter provision?  that is, in fact,
the rearmost of all of the shifter provisions.....
