Checking that the shifter linkage is working properly is a great idea
but why would the
adjustment dimension(s) change for a different engine? I'd think they don't.
e.g. the 3x mm space between shift lever ear and point up in the box
above spare tire
would remain the same.

Some engine conversions see the drivetrain lowered a little
though I don't think that's done with Bostig. Even so,
I don't think doing so would cause any real issue at shift linkage.
