I have a 73 Mach1 that was originally a 351c 2v/FMX/2.73 open diff. Currently a 460/C6/3.73 locker. It still has the stock shifter in it as I have never wanted to cut up the console. However, I am now ready to start tracking the car and would like to install a ratchet shifter or similar, but...

Hello, My name is Ottis and I own a 1973 Mach 1 that I purchased in February of 1995 that had a FMX and a 351 2v. I used her as a daily driver for a few years. In the process I upgraded to a four barrel and then rebuilt the engine. I had to take her off the road when I discovered a frame rail...
