Late model engine swap into 1967 Ranchero

I went with a 1980 Mustang motor for a transplant. Now that I have it installed there is no bolt hole on my engine block for the steering column automatic shift. I have looked for half a day finding a "bracket or kit" but no luck.

It looks to be in the same area as a clutch shaft pivot.If it is then you can get a bolt on bracket from most Mustang suppliers.

Roy is right. I used a clutch pivot bracket that I modified to work with the C4 bellhousing to retain the column shift in my wagon. Uses the same bolt boss.

PERFECT!!! Thank you guys, I ordered one today. I was really hoping I didn't have to convert to a floor shifter as it seams every time one thing comes up, it takes 3 more things to fix it.
