[Shotimes] ATX or MTX?

[Bill Murray]

The ATX to MTX swap has been done by a few people already.  The person I
can think of right away is Jose, the guy that did the group buy for the
scratch built short throw shifters over on shoforum.  I don't believe he
had any problems bolting in the rod shifter, other than cutting a hole
in the floor.  I'd personally stick with an ATX if its gonna be a long
distance vacation driver, and possibly commuting car. Plus the cost of a
Quaife and rebuild is the same price as a rebuild for the ATX.

Can anyone confirm Jim's comment about the floorpan being different ATX
vs.
MTX?  If the project were to involve major surgery on the floorpan, that
would definitely incline me toward an ATX.  I already expect I'm going
to
have to redo the whole exhaust, of course.  But does the ATX floorpan
have
enough room in the center tunnel?

How about a word from anyone who has parted out SHOs?  Al?  It's too
bloody
cold to go lay on the garage floor to look at it for myself, sorry!

I thought the lower firewall/floorpan area was different in all ATX
Tauri,
making it not so straightforward to get the MTX shifter to bolt in
place.
