You should put one of these in the car when you're done ...

Hmm, a 914 with precise shifting is almost as crazy as a 914 with Ferrari power.

Chris - looking great. I have not seen the MB in a couple years - good to see you are biting off another project on top of the 914s. haha. Can't wait to stop by again for another look.

No words needed. Well, OK. But just these words:

This thing is ridiculous. It's even better in real life.

I can’t understand why the aluminum is so thick! It looks like it should be a stressed member in the chassis lol!

Official drop on "At the Red Barn" YouTube channel will happen Saturday AM but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the shifter being unboxed. Yeah, I know, I'm a little bit excited...
Edit on 8/26: Updated link to "official" version:

I can't wait to see that shifter in person; it looks amazing in the video. I can imagine it will shift like a rifle bolt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@jd74914 No. Finding OEM manual shifters/parts is essentially impossible. Ferrari no longer makes the components and not a lot of manuals were made back then. This is a billet aftermarket assembly from EAG out of Round Rock, TX. It's better than factory - so say the Ferraristas who know. It's spectacular.

Ahh, interesting. Explains the EAG thank you next to it.

That is a beautiful looking part! I'm sure it is better than factory, really looks quite incredible.

Now to work out the location and orientation. I may add a bit of "up at the front" tilt. Among other things, that helps get the shift cables pointed where I want them. Once I'm settled on that, I'll work out a mounting system. And no, it won't include a headlight cover... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
But this is where it starts getting fun: I need to think as many steps ahead as possible and account for all the other systems that need to live under this shifter and be accesible for installation/service/replacement once everything is "done".
I think I'd like to preserve the factory tunnel vs total replacement like I did in my LS car. We'll see.

You could do what I did and cut a hole in the top of the tunnel, then run the cables out the original holes for the shifter and the speedo cable.

That makes it easy to get through the firewall.

I love that shifter and Clay's idea for the cables. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@ClayPerrine Clay - The issue I (may) have is the Ferrari engine location requires I get the cables pointing to the right (passenger) side of the engine before they get through the firewall. I have to get back under the car and verify details now that the headers are in there but as I recall, I can't go under the engine. As with my LS car, the cables need to get past the crank pulley by going outside / above it. So now that I'm thinking about it, I may not want the front tilted up. It'll all work out, one way or another.

I like the re-use of the factory headlight cover (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Here's the plasma table earning it's keep cutting V1 of the shifter mount. Anyone surprised it looks a bit more complicated than "just a mount"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Initial mock up of the shifter base mount.
I figured future drivers of this car may prefer a bit different shifter location so...
There will be tabs welded to the chassis but this mount can rotate around that tab at the rear and tilt from flat to about 2" up at the front, enabled by the series of holes in the front tab.
Of course, when it's tilted, the knob moves up and rearward. So the mount also has a series of holes (you can see them just behind the front shift block mount) that allow for the entire shifter assembly to move forward / back, to best suit the driver. Here it's approximating the highest/most forward position.

Version II is on the drawing table but it's a bit more complicated (and potentially impractical) so it may never happen. It adds knobs to enable real-time adustment of tilt and fore/aft positions. Again, don't hold your breath.
