Barring the price of the oem Chevy parts, which is based on commodity used prices, how bad are the conversion parts prices?
I'll be interested to see how it goes.

That shifter is a little different than the one I got from MGW.
Here are some pics. My MGW short-throw shifter dropped right in.
Wonder if you ordered a different one, or they changed their design?
Shifter setup is very simple. Insert the ball at the bottom into the carriage I already mounted for you on your torque tube, and insert the 4 small fasteners to hold it down. Done.
Note the shifter on the right in the pics below is the stock unit with the carriage attached. Your carriage has been modified, and is already mounted on your torque tube.
Both shifters (the stock one and the MGW) are mounted with 4 M6 fasteners screwed down from the top.
Your shifter has the Corvette 2-bolt mount on it which we do not use.

I can supply a replacement for that OEM fastener if you want.
Your junkyard should have included it with your parts, but that linkage bolt is sort of on the fringe and about half the used Chevy shift linkages show up here without them.
The OEM fastener is a torx and very shallow, I found it striped easily. So I made one from a allen-headed fastener that works better. I can make you up one too for your car if you like. Just let me know.
