Seriously your avatar is really distracting!
I have an LT1 T56 in mine and need to figure this out also. I talked to McLeod yesterday they can only do left 1" and forward 1.15", 1.30" or 1.80" and cost is $295 + shipping for the base without the stick.
I have a B&M Ripper i am thinking of cutting it and building a bracket that fits over and bolts to it to space it about 1 1/2" at an angle....has anyone tried this yet?

I'll see if I can find it but it's really not hard to figure out. Measure the travel between 1st and 2nd, and over to reverse. Set your console over the shifter and measure how far over to the center of the shifter hole. If you use the Hurst shifter the pattern is so close that it's hard to screw up.

I'm wondering about the pattern used i will be putting a t56 on my 75. i already did a t56 swap on 79 just didn't do the offset shifter as i only drove for 500 miles before accident... i want to do it right so I'm wondering what was offset.. hopefully it gets resurrected
