JTR sells all kinds of speedo converters.  You can get a VSS sensor 
that also has a mechanical connection for a cable.  That way your ECM 
still gets VSS, and your speedo gets a cable.  They have a www page 
at www.jagsthatrun.com.

As far as the shift linkage, you should be able to adjust it so that 
"p" thru "2" line up properly, but you may or may not be able to 
shift all the way to "1".  Is this an EFI motor/trans going into an 
older car?  JTR makes a swap manual for swapping EFI chevy 
smallblocks into older GM cars.  Talks about things like VSS sensors, 
wiring, shift linkage, etc.

Maybe I've forgotten, what's your application?
