I have a tailshift gearbox that is in great condition. If I had a donor sideshift box, how far would I have to strip the tailshift box down to convert it to a sideshifter? I am happy with the shifting but the tail shift rod does not clear my Bursch headers on my 6 conversion. Either I modify my tail shift rod or convert to side shift and hopefully further improve the shifting.

The cluster has to come out, the forks and rails have to be changed, and the rod has to be taken apart and removed. The gasket stack has to be measured and duplicated. When you're done, you'll have to replace the shifter and the rod through the firewall, along with the bushing. Then you have to fabricate the rear shift rod. The Cap'n
