Has anyone used a lokar shifter for their 727 before?
Lokar trans shifter

I purchased one, but haven't installed or used it yet. A friend of mine had one in his Mopar street rod but, he told me he did not like it so he replaced it. I figured I could make it work!

I've installed some on customer cars at work. If you get one, get it with a cable as they are easier on the install. Rod linkage will make you sound like a biker. I did one with rod linkage on a 65 Fairlane. PITB! Took me almost 4 days to do. There is not a lot of room in the trans tunnel on that car. Also, the boot they supply you with just barely covers the area, like a half inch all around, around the shifter unit so you have no margin of error when you mount that unit and make your floor cuts. You might want to consider something else.

Once they were in, no issues. We did use floor mount units too instead of trans mount.

I have used 3 of their shifters on other cars and personally do not like them real well. I would go another direction, get one with a cable and their shifter boot you can throw out - difficult to install - Its cut too tight and no margin for error.
