Hi Ingemar,
David Davenport, Davenport Cars, has installed a 5 speed in a SS/3.5L
saloon. I believe that it’s from a Ford product. 5th gear is an overdrive so
highway cruising can be done at lower RPM with less engine stress. It also
has a near correct extension so the shift lever is near the original
position.
David can be contacted at Davenport Cars, New Farm, Tetford, UK,
info@davenportcars.co.uk, country code plus 2476-203322. or his web site
www.davenportcars.co.uk.
I have no affiliation with Davenport Cars, I’m just passing along the
information requested.
Cheers
