I'm looking to find out if anyone knows of a conversion kit or hurst shifter that I could put onto my automatic transmission. I know hurst has certain ones for specific models of cars but I'd still have to modify the actual shifter stick/lever

Something like this would be amazing. But I wonder what they changed for this to work

If you can bolt in a slap stick shifter from an E body, then you can use one of those pistol grip shifters. I am thinking about doing that myself. I don't have a console and mine is not original, so I don't mind it not it not being a "b body" shifter. I like the slapstick better than an aftermarket shifter anyway.

You probably can modify an aftermarket top plate (saving your original) to fit as well. This guy had a new plate made to fit the 8 speed shifter in it and it looks great.

I ended up going with this route specifically because I wanted to modify as little as possible. Pretty expensive but I'm hoping the end product turns out amazing. I'll post pics here after I'm done with it

Just wanted to post an update on the product and on just how well it turned out. I will need to do some adjusting to make it a bit tighter. But that's only because my original shifter arm is worn down. Everything is beautiful and well made. Not to mention one of the simplest upgrades you could make.
