Others have drilled and tapped the smaller ones and it seems to work okay. The dude that makes custom fender badges makes one that is KILLER but it's $$$$$.

I can't imagine a T handle making it easier to shift.

I had a T-handle in my 'Cuda but that shifter was lower (in relation to my body) and a little farther away. I think the ball shifter would be more comfortable.

Sadly...too much lateral force needed with a Hurst IMO. The classic ball is hard to beat.

I had Hurst T-Handle on my 1964 VERT, but I agree with others, the shifter was lower in relation to your body in that car.

I think the C5 would be too high for a T-Handle.
