Who's running a Hurst shifter?
Got my Muncie out getting rebuilt and am seriously comtemplating a Hurst, after the bear it was getting the stocker out and what a pain it looks to be getting it back in. Looks to be a piece of cake putting a Hurst in, was wondering where ya'll may have gotten the best deal on one. I do want to run the 'look-alike' t-handle, is it made by Hurst? Available from them? Summit sells the Comp + for about $170 whereas all the Corvette catalogs have them for $330 +, with the t-handle. Going to Hurst website but thought I'd ask you fellas here as well. Thanks for any input....

I got my look-a-like from Mid America for about 80 bucks a couple of years ago.

Summit may be the best bet for a new shifter but you can get the T-handle here for about $95:

You have to purchase the Comp/Plus shifter AND the kit to do it correctly.
You will not find the shifter and kit, new, for under $200. Add about $90 if you want a stock looking C3 shifter lever, sold by 'vette parts people.
Got my shifter and kit from Summit.
