You can use a standard trimatic shifter regardless of which side you need the arm on.what would i have to do to get around this
The swinging arm off the shifter can be unpinned and swapped around to whichever side is required.
A few on this board have done it, myself included.
As long as the linkage lengths are correct for the gearbox you are trying to use it on you will be fine, I had alot of headaches with this on my TH350, I eventually got perfect gear selection after LS1LX (I think) gave me the pointers in getting my modding right.
I'd stick with a standard trimatic shifter and keep a more genuine look rather than using any B&M shifter or the sort.
[edit] I forgot to mention, extractors from an early model commodore [VB] were angled wrong to fit my LH/X, I imagine the same problem with the UC.
So you might be needing a pair of those I imagine.
When you get to it, drop the engine in with the extractors loosely bolted onto the engine (I did front and rear bolts on each side finger tight), otherwise you are never going to squeeze them in there
Goodluck!
