Fabricate them.
When I first dropped the engine and transmission in I discovered the transmission was not built for an a or b body asI thought. The shifter mounts were in the wrong spot so I got creative with a torch and tin snips to expedite the project ( dumb I know) later on I discovered that the rods needed creative adjustment due to cross frame interference. Got the torch out for adjustments and made them work however shifting is less than acceptable. It is an a body OD unit in a b body. Don't know where to take it to resolve the problem. Any suggestions?
Having a gander at what you have done so far will go a long way to help solve your problems.

Out of the box, maybe consider relocating the adapter plate bosses similar to this E to A adapter plate........

Why not just put in a OD truck transmission in it. The only change that needs to be done it to use a different yoke because of the spline count on the output shaft.
Mopars at the Rock (Rockingham NC) is next Saturday April 5th. Is about 5-1/2 hours away from you and I’ll have one available for $200. I’ve opened it up and it looks like new inside.
