Default Tr6060 from a 2011 camaro?

I picked up a TR6060 from a 2011 camaro for my 72 camaro restomod. I need help answering a few question to complete the swap.

Where or who makes an aftermarket shifter to a conventional ( top load)style shifter? (4 bolt)
how do I go about installing a slip yoke for the driveshaft? Currently has the 3 finger hub on the tail shaft.
who sells the slip yoke to adapt?

I'm hoping I don't need a new tail shaft housing and or main shaft

thanks in advance!

You can get a McLeod Slick Stik that mounts to the top of the case.

A driveline that includes a front CV and slip section lets you use the rear of the trans. as-is.

Or you could have it converted to slip-yoke, including a housing that accepts a shifter.

The dilemna with the extra-deep 5th gen bellhousing it it shoves the trans. further and further back in floorpans that are already challenging for room.

Thank you for the info!

no matter what I am going to modify the tunnel to allow room for the trans. It seems like a common issue with any T56 and second gen camaros.

Seems like this is exactly what I need aside from picking up a bell housing
