A smug jerk is one of the owner requirements.
With that said this thread could only fail more if there was pics..

The column to floor shift swap has been done and documented many times before, so I'd imagine the process of going from floor shift to column shift would be more or less the same but in reverse. I've actually tossed around that idea as a dumb month-long April fools joke but it looks pretty in depth. You'd also miss out on having a gear indicator without swapping to a 2v cluster but I personally wouldn't care for having one since it's pretty easy to memorize an automatic shift pattern.

You can still have an indicator with the column shifter and keep the marauder cluster... This was the setup in my old 02 Marquis.... M was Park, R was still Reverse as well and the other letters linned up with other gear positions.

I have a 2003 Town car that I Marauderized as my daily driver. I use the Marty O tune for the stock 2V motor that really wakes it up with the larger Marauder air box.

You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference
I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

Swapping the shifter from the floor to the column and vise versa is easy. I did it on my 2006 Taurus mostly because I had access to parts and the curiosity. I would not do a Marauder just because, you know - rarity and exclusivity. My Town Car has a bench and I use the console as an armrest and never have used the center seat. I am sure I could post a link to the website where I documented the swap. The cars are different but the parts and procedures aren't. Big question though... the seat you intend to swap, are the airbags interchangeable?
