Title is kinda self explanatory, trying to figure out how to run the H-N-L dash linkage for my vacuum shift 3 speed T case after a v8 swap.
Pic's would be great if you have any.

T-case linkage on V8 swaps, how did you do it?

I didn’t do the swap but for a SBC 283 in a ‘65 with stock 3-spd and tcase, but there was no room for the stock dash-mounted hi/lo shift mechanism at the firewall and it’s shift linkages/rods so that was all scraped and a floor shift was installed. The dizzy being on the rear of the head for that motor (probably all SBCs) was the interference. The vacuum system is still functional though and is just the FD knob without the lever arm.

Ohhhh that's slick.
I just made a simple bracket to hold the pivot point off the original passenger rear motor mount that's attached to the frame. I also had to lengthen the rod going back to the transfer case since I used an auto and it was quite a bit longer. I'll get some pics tomorrow if you need/want them. I'm at work today and don't have access to my 40.

How does a cable push to go back to neutral from low and high from neutral? Maybe a really stout cable?

The flexy part of the cable is inside a very rigid sleeve, the only parts the are outside the sleeve are solid rods, so the cable acts like a rod that can flex around a bend, You have to make farily big bends with them because of it. I had a car with one for the shifter.
That's a really good solution for this problem.
