Just my two cent's : I ran an AAR Cuda with a super shifter mine may have been a little different as it was mounted on an inverted L shaped bracket which allowed for straight shift rod's and as far as I am concerned it was the best shifter available. If I were going back to a stick in my stocker which I may I would use one again Bob

Correct! Best 4 spd shifter ever made IMO.Problem is you have to modify the floor and the hump to use it as the shifter is located in the car and not under the floor.Tight fit with bench seat. Last I checked with Hurst it is still available but must be bought in pieces(rods,L bracket etc) ,not as a complete unit like the old days.Factory 71 up set up mimics the set up but is not as heavy duty.Big improvement over the comp plus and not the same unit.

Unless I'm missing something here, you guys are talking about a different shifter than the Super Shifter 3. I believe you're talking about the Ram Rod shifter. It had the same body as a Comp. Plus and Super Shifter, but was an "INLINE" shifter. In either case, floor mods weren't necessary if going into a stock stick floor pan.
All three used the same mounting pad. It is preferred to have all shifter rods as straight as possible. I'm using custom made(by me) straight rods with my Super Shifter 3 right now.

Not an inline shifter or a rachet shifter. H pattern with L bracket and longer,larger rods.Used by most of the early pro stock drivers when they used the Hemi 4 spd incl Sox,Landy etc etc.Ram rod came later.They called them Super Shifter 1,2,3, came later.

Ya got me there. I've seen the "L" shaped brackets used with "E" body cars and Comp Plus body shifters with and without the reverse lock out.

This is a Super Shifter III mounted with the Supershifter install kit. It did require butchering the floor. If you don't want to cut the floor then mount it on the standard Competition Plus bracket. They never made a kit like this for the E body because the shifter is already high and rearward. When I bought a SuperShifter for a Cuda back in the early 70's I called Hurst and asked why there was no listing for an E body kit and they said just buy the tower and a 7" straight handle, no need for a kit. The kit was for A and B body cars that had the forward mounting point.

Thanks. My day is complete. I learned something new.

And also, is there any reason why these things are retarded prices on Ebay? Theres one, shifter only for $400. There's also a complete unit for $900, and another complete unit (though signed by someone famous, i forget) for $1300.

Here's a picture of the E-body Supershifter III that I use in my Savoy.
It does not use the reverse lockout that most Supershifter units have and this is my second Supershifter that I have owned without the lockout. I really don't know when where or why they made them both ways but in either form they are a very nice H-pattern shifter
At a weekend race once with time trials I made 26 passes without missing a shift So once you get it setup right with good linkage it's hard to beat.

Gus, is that a bracket and shift rods you made? Did you have to cut the floor?

So from the sounds of it they shift significantly better than the comp plus?
