The gate length is totally immaterial. it is the shifter tab that matters. How many aftermarket shifters do you know of, which have a different model, for different transmissions. None, as long as you are comparing 3 speeds to 3 speeds, etc.

so any OD shifter will work
Hurst, B&M and few others, sell a standard unit that fits about 10 different transmissions. One is for the 3 speed transmissions, the other for OD ones. The only difference in application is which brackets and lever you use from the bag of various ones they send you.
The Hurst in my 715 fits all TH350, 400, 475, etc, Chrysler 904, 727, etc, and Ford C4, C6, etc. I still have a drawer full of the bracketry I didn't use.
The only thing I can see that would be unneeded would be the park position in the newer shifters, but just don't use that part of the gate.
Barry did raise the enter a bit...wish I had a good side shot or front shot...it was up 2 inches or a little more at the rear...started the raise in mid hood.
Brian you won't need any vents if you do a body lift, there will be a couple of openings in your wheel wells that will do the job. Ask me how I know.
If you really want to cool that beast I've got a 32" wide AFCO that came out of one of Andy Mayes' cars. Of course that would imply some big time cutting and it doesn't have an AT cooler in it, but for the cost nothing I will donate it just to see this madness one step further.
There also happen to be 5 3116's on GL in Huntsville right now at the Redstone Arsenal.
This should be willing to bolt in and give you as much cooling as that size opening will give, also it has AT cooling capacity. http://www.bjsoffroad.com/CartGenie/prod-609.htm
Let's hear about it, what's going on?
on hold right now. i will post when I have more
There is an outfit in Florida making cowl hoods, and they have one for FSJ applications. Always wanted one, but that would kill my driving without my windshield all summer deal.
As far as the radiator goes, I am dealing with Randy Pettey out of Michigan for a project that I am working on...He can make any radiator you want. His work in quality, and the prices can't be beat. 586-412-1298 is the phone number.
Great project plan. Can't wait to see some pics.
