Default Hurst vs. GM Muncie shift arms.....

As the title states......before I wrestle putting this Hurst in....does anyone here know if the GM and Hurst shift throw arms are significantly different in length?
I have the complete shifter and kit minus the shift arms.
Hurst wants a fortune for these.....tired of spending money on BS.

Has anyone used one with the other?

Thank you all for your time

I have both, they are different.

The install is pretty simple if you remove the exhaust, transmission mount and lower the trans down. Plenty of room after that.

Hurst mounts to trans, factory mounts on cross member.
See the way the Hurst arms bend out to get around the trans.

Ok so it is the bend that is the issue.
Thank you for the photos.

I believe that everyone misunderstood what I was explaining....
I do not need shift rods....
I need to know if the actuator ears or "arms" as Hurst calls them are significantly different than stock.....

Sorry for the confusion...
