for just a little more than the price of a v gate, you can buy a Long Shifter.

OUCH $700 in Jegs for the long shifter....have a huge $150 in my Hurst Vertigate....but the Long's are sweet....just too pricey for my pocketbook

you got a heck of a deal on yours Rick, there's a few in the race section for sale asking 350 a pop for old stuff. buy direct from Long, cheaper.

You can buy refurbished ones from long, very nice units typically 300-400 depending on long or short arm etc...

Be careful with the mr gasket ramrods as hurst tends to not like rebuilding those though they do the vgateII without a problem.

Hey Andre....was up???? I do like the long shifter....very nice piece & 300 - 400 would be much easier to swallow than 700 ....am also very happy with this Hurst unit

Hey Rick, the car is looking good, get a chance to use the shifter yet?

The only thing I don't like about the long on my g force is no reverse lockout. It's easy to forget what position the reverse lever is engaged in so I always check neutral before engaging first.

I've started buying up the vgates and mr gaskets. They are no longer manufactured, and hurst has no plans to. Trying to push all of us closer to those stupid automatics pos'

There's roughly a half a dozen Hurst Vertigates on Ebay right now priced from $75-$200.

LOL.....I have the 833 and shifter all hooked up to the 408 on the run-in stand....my early A 23 spline that I picked up for $150 ended up being perfect....quiet as a church mouse, smooth shifting and NO LEAKS

The shifter is also one of the smoothest operating shifters I've ever used

The Valiant is waiting on funding to complete

Thanks again for all your help
