Kevdogg,
I can help you on the install.
I know you are in the neighborhood, like 3 blocks away I think, just send me and e-mail when you are ready.
Two tricky parts are 10mm spacer and Ford's fancy cotter pin and spring.
I broke my pin and will need get a new one.
My spacer was made with a spare piece of 3/8" thick plexiglass and a jig saw. A friend of mine made the spacer plate. It's the same size as the bottom of the shifter stand with holes for the isolators and the shifter.
The trans access plate with seal is mounted to the bottom of the spacer plate and seals the hole in the floor. The isolators are mounted to the spacer plate. Remount the shifter stand and exhaust shield.
Stick in the new shifter and click on the cables and you are done.
I would say we took about an hour but this also includes redoing my custom audio install in the center console. We also did it in my friends shop which has every tool you need including air compressor at an arms reach.
