can't get my shift together

[sixpakshaker]

Can anyone clarify this for me... I want to buy a new shifter for my ebody 4 speed.
Passon and Brewers have no stock on rebuilts because Hurst is behind bigtime. Backorders like crazy.
So, what are my options?
I've read I can buy a B body Hurst comp plus new and then add the ebody rods and levers with the double holes to shorten the shift? Is this a direct bolt in without mods?
Cause if that works, that's what I will do.
Any feedback is appreciated or ideas....Thanks......

When Chryco gets on he should be able to help you on this one.

Did you have an old one to rebuild or not have one at all. Do you really want a NEW shifter?

I bought one on EBAY. A no-shifter handle, shifter.    It's a Hurst Shifter off of who knows what.  Search Competition Plus, Shifters, 4 speed shifters etc.  If you get one with the adjustable stop bolts it'll be a bonus. I've seen some with the push to lock style and the bolt on handle type.  Good Luck, because I kept getting outbid till I bid high.

the B body Hurst is a bolt in But the levers in the shifter unit are slightly different length  so some minor tweaking of the rods may be nessisary to clear the tranny crossmember
 I used a truck Hurst unit on a 4 spd converion last weekend , it worked great , just needed to make a bit of clearance for the 1-2 shift rod    to get into 2nd gear
 so basically Yes the B body Hurst superr comp + shifter works , with the e body rod & tranny levers with the double holes , us the holes closest to the pivot of the lever to shorten the shift throw , once you do you will never go back to the long throw
