Welding Muncie handle to Hurst shifter????

[Mr70]

It will sit a little higher than stock,but you'll be the only one that knows it.

Not anymore..

I don't know if you know this, but the Hurst after market shifter for the 1967-68 and the 1969 Camaro's, all the installation kit are based off the small block location...

The shifter mounting plates don't take into account the motor and trans being moved 1/2" forward and 1/2" to the right for the big block application...

Some people say there isn't a problem, then there are the people that call me for this very problem...

If you have a problem I have a mount that addresses this very problem for both the 1967-68 and the 1969 big block Camaro's for both the 27 spline and 32 spline tail housings

Hope this helps... Crash

Rick, do you know where to get one of these? I’d like to do this same conversion to a 69 nova

Thanks

I have done this conversion for a few shifters...pretty simple. Weld the Hurst end on the Muncie handle...once it is in the boot, you can't tell. As for not ruining a Muncie handle, they make a number of aftermarket pieces that will work. For the Nova, the Chevelle handle is close...the average car guy won't know the difference.
