Supercharged Group: Forum Members Last Active: 6 Years Ago Posts: 217, Visits: 1.0K	I have a 1956 ford tudor that I will be running a 292/fordo in and I'm wanting to use the stock shift rod, kickdown rod, belcrank bracket and all original linkages. Is this possible even with a 3x2? Wouldn't I just have to modify a new rod that comes off of the bellcrank to the progressive linkage? Fomoco Low Life
