So with some minor modification to the shifter hole, you could technically make it work in an FC correct? Or does nothing match up under the car?

you could hog it out, but the shifter would be almost in the radio....

Sounds like the shifter would pop up perfect in a SA or very close in a FB.

2 inches shouldn't be that far off. i'm sure you could build a shifter handle that would work. heck my camaro tranny's shifter is about 2 inches foward and rotated 26*.
