You need to shorten the gear lever or it will hit the dash. The T50 gearlever is closer to the firewall than that of the Ford transmission. The 4AGE engine can not be moved further to the rear to solve the problem especially if using the FWD version.

thanks for reply tho I am not using a 4ge I am using a 4k engine

Don't know that engine, just move the engine as far back as the engine or transmission will allow leaving at least 70 mm from the firewall and transmission tunnel to allow for engine movement.

The original Lotus gearshift levers were only about 100 mm long.
