What do you mean by "middle position".. do you mean the small mid shift position? I should have came with the rear shifter in the car and that shifter clocked so that the shift lever will mount as far back as possible (like in the story)
Do you have a consol? If not then mount it like I did in the story and get the right HURST shift lever, this way ergonomics will be spot on.
Also, I cut a large hole in the trans tunnel a bit bigger than that shifter. That plate has a hole in it for the shift lever. This way, in case of emergency, I can remove the shifter without dropping the trans.
The Magnum shifter was about 2.5" farther forward than the normal T56. You will also have to "clearance" the trans tunnel with a BFH to make roome for the reverse lockout solenoid.
If you have a console then I believe both Keisler and Hurst make shifters with offsets to the the placement right.
