    E39 LS Swap T56 Magnum

    I bought a T56 magnum for my E39 ls swap and then the GTO t56 shifter. The T56 and T56 magnum shifter bases are different so I can't use the GTO shifter. Looks like mcleod and sikky both have expensive options...

    I want to just make a bracket that fits on the stock T56 magnum shifter that offsets it 4" back. Then on another members build page I saw he cut below the first bolt. I'm pretty sure because the stock T56 magnum hits the under side? If thats the case I would rather spend the money but hoping someone can help clear it up?

    FYI: American powertrain also offer the t56 magnum shifter named "white lightning" seems to have really good reviews

    Looking at M5Hunters definitely would hit so going to drop the coin.
