Default what do I do with shift cable? - 700R4 swap -

Trying to get this thing buttoned up so I can fire up the new motor. I was crawling around this morning and realized I haven't attached the shift linkage to the transmission pan. Due to different pan bolt spacing I cannot attach the shift cable bracket that use to connect to the TH350. There might be space to drill a new hole. Just wondering what others did.

I suppose I need the actual kit too so I have the right glass indicator. Thanks for the offer though. Did you get your kit from a vendor or off ebay?

Kits are available direct from Shiftworks. I ordered mine online. Not sure but you might find them on e-bay.

Think you can use 1 from a C4 or F-body with 700R4.
