Default OEM vs Hurst Shift levers - Are they the same?

Are the shift levers that connect to a Borg Warner 4 speed transmission the same between the OEM shifter and the Hurst? I need to replace the 3-4 lever and also I want to change out the reverse lever to the original style with the lockout cable.

Thanks,

Jim

No. The stock Corvette shifter is a GM made piece, and there are no parts that I'm aware of on them, that can be interchanged with parts from a Hurst shifter.

Be aware there are 2 different size slots on the GM shifter levers.
