Maybe I'm misinterpreting your intention....but using a Toploader shifter (Ford or Hurst) and adapting that to a TKO600 that already has an integral shifter would be like trying to reinvent the wheel

Cheers,

edit:
Here's the TKO600 config I'm talking about...

I'm sorry Glen, I meant the shifter handle itself, not the whole shifter. If I were to use my shifter handle it would have to be modified to adapt to the stub coming out of the TKO
Does ERA have a specific bolt on reversed shifter handle for the TKO 600. If there is a specific handle, then I could sell the whole shifter and handle presently on my car. Would the specific handle have the fake reverse lockout?

When I spoke with Liberty Transmission, They told me no problem using the same external TOB I have on the car now. I believe it mounts to the bell housing.

One big question I have concerning the TKO is the physical size of it. does it fit in the ERA tunnel without clearance issues? The guy at Liberty thought it was similar in size to the Toploader. When you go on Tremec's site, they give you revery dimension except width and height?
