Hi Steve,

Mike wants to use a Hurst Shifter in his car, I am going to use one of them 
B&M ratchet shifters.     You know the one a big aluminum box about 4X8 with 
a huge lever coming out.    I am thinking about mounting it inverted in the 
roof like the throttle quadrant of a Grumman sea plane!

The GM 700R transmission uses either cable or link rods to select gears; if 
the 4L60E is electronically shifted I think I can integrate that to the MB 
shifter.    As Mike the goal is to have the car appear as if it were 
completely stock inside.

I am using that same goal in the CE with the stick shift, I have a factory 
clutch pedal assembly and shifter boot for the console.    I don't know if I 
am going to use a stick with the LS-1 it will be what I find as a package 
auto or stick.

My CE is an early car with a 3.23 diff, that is a bit less then the 3.42 
that comes in the Vette.    The six speed manual has an optional 2.56 gear? 
That would be a great match for an SEC with 2.47 gears or a later CE with a 
2.65 diff.

Steve
