On older engines they used a 5" extension on the shift shaft because it was a straight rod. Your engine has a shift shaft that is angled, because of the angle I beleave you will have to replace the shift shaft to keep the angle correct.
I am sure someone with more knowledge will come along and give some expert advice.
