I have a stock console that I want to put in. I also have a 4 speed Muncie in the car. The shifter on the Muncie sets a little off to the left from where it would be with a factory Saginaw. I do not think that the factory 4 speed console shift plate will work with a Muncie is that correct ?

Is your factory console from a 4 speed car? If it is, all you have to do is move it further back. Muncie shifter sits further back than Saginaw. So you would have to re-weld the two console mounting brackets. i just had it done on my car.

Can the shifter be moved further back so it comes through the shifter plate area? Then use an F body shifter so it comes out closer to the center.

This is all theory, but wonder if it has already been done.

A guy over on G-BODY CENTRAL (1983 SS 454) has a muncie 4-speed in his El Camino with a console and Hurst shifter. I think he's a member here also.

Hey Doug, yup that me. I used an '86 Monte SS auto console to do my swap
