The shifter will not hit the seat. Lokar shifters have multiple mounting locations. Check out the photos on the following link. If you use the front mounting holes the shifter will be just a few inches behind where your existing bell housing is now. http://lokar.com/product-pgs/shifters/shifter-product-pgs/auto-trans-shifter.html

I was wondering how to have a floor shift if I swapped my manual for an auto. Now I know:)

I put a B&M z-gate shifter on my th350 that I just put in my 65. Because of the bench seat I can only drop it down to low 2, I am unable to get it all the way to low 1. I was planning on installing bucket seats anyways, so that will eliminate the issue. But be aware that some of the automatic shifters may not get the full range of motion because of the bench.

And after seeing the link, i agree with lugnutz...never should have clicked it (now i want one...).

I had a BM shifter in my 57' BelAir and gave it away and even shipped it UPS to a guy who wanted it so I could buy a Lokar which I love.
