What’s going on Everyone, My name is Mike Flo. I’m from the 206 and wanted to say thank y’all for the welcome to this forum. I purchased a 1971 Dodge Charger SuperBee with a 440 and 727 Torqueflight. It originally was a 383 with Column shift 727 but the previous owner put in a Hurst ProMatic-which I’m not a fan of and was hoping anyone had any suggestions for a good replacement floor shift like a B&M but not sure what model to purchase. This is basically a weekend cruiser and don’t need the ratchet action style shifter for track racing. My future upgrades will be to go to a stock center console with the slapstick automatic but since I have a bench seat I would for the time being install a cruising style B&M shifter that is similar in to the slapstick so if anyone has a model suggestion please don’t hesitate and let me know. Thank you. As for the other options: it has power steering, manual drum brakes with plans for Wildwood Front Disc upgrade and possible brake booster upgrade but not sure what brand and model booster/master cylinder combo to purchase. Also, not sure what rear axle is in but it has the pumpkin(hopefully it’s the 9 3/4 ring gear ) and not The Dana60. No A/C which will be another upgrade and has base steering column(planning on upgrading to flaming river tilt column). Bench vinyl seat up front and rear vinyl bench seat as well.
