The Can Bus is probably for an aftermarket ECM, which you won't need to hook up.
How ever, it mightneed terminated with end plugs or connected back to the controller.
Read the damn instructions.

Alright been busy the last couple days.
Got the wiring all done, after a quick call to Rodney.
Turns out all you have to connect is a 12v switched, ground, tps, tach, and vehicle speed sensor. The rest is tucked away.
Then moved on to the bellhousing, which sucked becasue of these damn 2in headers. They have been nothing but hell. so i had to drop the cradel to get enough room to slide the bellhousing in. But its on and getting to the top bolts suck too.
coilovers and rear drag bar came in today (shocks and bar not in pic)
Now on to the part where i need some pics and help to get it right. I need to know where to weld/screw on the bracket to hold the shifter cable in the tunnel.
But im getting there slowly.

It's easy to locate where to mount bracket. You will need to hook the shifter cable up to the trans with the adjuster set in the middle and trans in park. Measure the distance from the bracket that needs to be welded with it snapped on the cable to the end of the cable where the shifter snaps into the hole. Note the measurement. Now take the bracket off the cable and hold it up in the trans tunnel, with the shifter in park measure from the center of the shifter cable snap fitting back to where the bracket is to be welded and make a mark. That is where you will need to weld the bracket. You have a 1/2 inch or so of adjustment on the cable at the trans and you can also bend the trans bracket a bit for further adjustment if needed. Make sure you position the shifter cable end so it does not bind going from park to 1st. . Measure 10 time and weld once!!!!!

Gotta give you props for getting this far man! My car's in pieces right now, so I'll throw you another pic. I don't take credit for this work, it was done for me. Maybe it will help. On mine they definitely used a bracket like the one attached to the trans, and modified it.

Got the shifter linkage done. Big thanks to Chris for some extra pics.
I used another bracket that holds it on the trans and cut and made it fit in place.
I dont have a welder so i drilled and put a nut and bolt on it, should be just fine.

The vibrations in that are huge, I would rommend that you stop over and pick up a polly lock nut to make sure that it does not vibrate free.
