B-body shifter is going to be a lot longer and probably mash your fingers/hand into the steering wheel in 2nd gear and look rather dis-proportioned in the interior
is this a console shifter your talking about ...???
The shifter itself is the same. The issue ,as stated is the shifter handle being too long. Is it a push in shifter handle or bolt in handle? Also, linkage to the transmission will be different.
Hurst pistol grip handle for '71 - '74 B-body Bench seat cars (also works well in 1967 to 1976 A-body cars with bucket seats) requires bolt-on style shifter mechanism.
