Sorry, haven't lived up that way for a while so don't know anymore. Being that you're in Bellingham, have you checked out the May 1st cruise to Winthrop from Bellingham?

dick, give jim's automotive experts a call in everson. They did the pfadt springs/sways, brake conversion and custom exhaust for me.

I believe with the hurst shifter he might have to drop the trans. Might be wrong though. But if that is case I would have a reputable shop do the work as well.

PS: I have no connection to jim's automotive experts by the way. Just happy with the work they did for me.

if you have to drop the tranny yes but if you dont, dont bother most shops will charge $100hr just in labor cost & it is farly easy to do. did my hsubands c5 corvette in about 30mins.

True, believe they charge $60/hr

Don't have to drop the tranny, just loosen the hanger bolts. Not that difficult an install...large hands are an issue though!

I installed my shifter in about 30 minutes using a lift at the base hobby shop. But, mine isn't a hurst. But, I did get here on the camaro 5 site. It has the 60's style look to it.

I dunno if you've taken care of this yet or not, as this is an older thread, but if not, maybe this will help...
