Hey Brad,
when you get the Hurst set up, would you mind sending me the info on part numbers, where you got it and what you paid for it ?
Looks like I may go that route as well.
It appears to me the part number is 3910028 for the actual shifter, not sure about the linkage, etc.
Thanks.

I found it by using the search categories they have on their site:
drivetrain/shifters/shifter-install kit combos/chevrolet/corvette/your year model.
I'm going to try and snag a used setup from a forum member or ebay because that's pricey to me but it would take out the guess work and you know you'll have a new, solid shifter.

Hey guy's I'm doing a 4 speed swap as we speak. the cross member out of an automatic will not work. I have an 82 vet with a 700r4. i had to buy a 80-81 cross member and the shifter bracket to make it fit. I bought a m-20 Muncie to put in the car since i have a 3.08 rear end.
i have about 1800.00 bucks in it total to do the swap. This includes all the parts i needed not including the time and labor.

With your 3.08 rear gear and an L48 engine you'll want to get a trans with at least a 3.XX first gear.An ideal start off first gear ratio close to 10.Find a transmission that would work well with that 3.08 rear gear or you won't be happy with the performance and end up changing rear gears to get the performance you want a 1K expense.Then when you change rear gears your rpm's will be much higher in 4th gear,no OD.I have the same combo and went with a Richmond 6spd with a 3.28 first gear.Take offs are quick and the gear spreads are just about perfect and with a 6th gear OD my hiway rpm's are around 2k @ 65mph.If your going thru all the work of installing a 4 speed may as well do an OD trans.Sucks doing the same job twice! More expense at first but will cost you less in the long run and you'll have more
