Hello,

I have a 67 Valiant with a 3 speed manual on the column. I want switch to floor shift. Is there a Kit ? Which company has parts for it ?

thanks a lot
arthur

There is no "kit" for this swap. Summit Racing lists a "universal" 3 speed shifter from Hurst. These usually come with enough bolts, brackets and dodads to mount the shifter to the tailhousing. You will need to cut the floor and make a cover for the shifter to fit.

Some how my earlier post didn't post right any how...

There are a couple things to consider with this one. The parts
you'll need are a floor hump (these can be bought new from Paddock/Year One, home fabbed if you are a sheet metal worker, or used if you can get one out of a 1967-1976 A-body at a salvage yard).
After that you'll need a shifter from a 1970+ A or F body car with floor shift 3 spd car...or an after market shifter (like a Hurst generic kit).

The biggest stumbling block is your three speed as it's installed, generally column shift cars did not come with the mounting bosses on the tailshaft for the floor shift mechanism...if this is the case you'll have to get creative or swap trannies...

The last thing is your column shifter, after doing the swap you'll want to drive the pin out and remove the column lever...or you can find a floor shift column and swap the non column shift blank onto your steering column....
