Subject: 3 on the Tree to Floor Shifter



Currently my car is a slant 6 with a manual 3 speed column shifted 
trans.
Was there ever such a thing as a floor manually shifted 3 speed or 4 
speed trans behind a /6 for our years of cars? Or has anyone done it?
What was involved?
Thanks

Garry/List:

The valiant 6s definately had floor shifted three speeds
from the factory. My friend Porky Stein had a black 62 2DHT
with that setup.

Hurst had a three speed shifter package that came with a
tunnel piece to mount the shifter.

It made for a very nice conversion from the three on the tree.

I would imagine they were also available for B-bodies.

I believe J.C.Whitney still sells a Sparkomatic three speed floor
shifter that is also very nice.

We did the Hurst shifter on my brother's 65 Valiant back in the 70's.

It was not a difficult job
