New motor is in the Galaxie!

So we got the new 4.6 liter dropped in the 63. Had to order a front sump oil pan to make it work. Now wiring is getting run and then we measure for headers and cut the drive shaft. Question is, with the new transmission, should we use the linkage from the steering column or go to a floor shift setup? Any suggestions? <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_G38u3tWa_6b9sj5ghb6Cw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--al4QhsHWE0/TrVZLAfX2LI/AAAAAAAAAOg/D8ZIm-QQrOM/s640/PART_1320506494128.jpeg" height="478" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From November 5, 2011</td></tr></table>

 

What trans are you running would be the first part to know to answer that....

 

The setup came out of a 1994 Crown Vic. 4 speed auto with overdrive.

 

The AODE I believe.
