I noticed on the brewers performance website it says will not work for 71-74 bbody but not sure why. Likes/dislikes? https://www.holley.com/products/dri...ccessories/manual_shifters/parts/3914076

The levers on the bottom of the E body shifter body are offset differently than other shifters. That said, I have a Gm style Hurst Super Shifter2 in my E body and even though the levers are not offset the same as a stock shifter it fits and works as it should without any modifications using the original E body shifter mount instead of the corvette mount that came with it. Obviously your experience may differ when mixing up parts. Last edited by GomangoCuda; 07/02/22 05:12 PM. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

If it's a a bench seat 71 B-Body it takes a special shifter. The link you posted looks like it's intended for 70 and prior B-Bodies. This pics shows the different shifter mounting locations. The top one is A-Body. The lower one shows the two different mounting locations used by B&E Bodies. 70 and prior B-Bodies use the front one, closest to the main body of the trans. 71 bench seat B-Bodies use that location also with a special shifter mounting bracket and shifter. E-Bodies and bucket seat 71 up B-Bodies use the location at the rear of the tail housing. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
