You might run into a problem with the 28-9 if you have a temp gage mounted under the instrument panel. That will then require some creative rebending. If you run a mitchell you have to consider the location of the mitchell, but I think if you adjust it to be close to the seat it won't be an issue. Just finished rebuilding a shift tower and the old lever was real snakey(bent) I bent the new lever cold with a block of wood against the seat riser.
