Column shifter...

[Three50won]

Can anyone tell me if it is a difficult job to change a column shifter to a floor shifter. I saw an 88 T-bird that I wanna buy. It's nice and it has a 5.0 engine but it has a column shifter. Now I personally never seen an 88 T-bird with a V8 and a column shifter...heck I never seen a T-bird with a column shifter at all, but this one has it. Do I need to change the transmission or can it be modified for a floor shifter...?? And what else would I need to change...?? Any advice or info is greatly appreciated, thanks...!!

Excellent read. I was thinking more of getting a transmission specifically for a floor shifter and the actual floor shifter. That might be easier than trying to convert the stock trans right...??
