.... installed a B&M shifter into a stock camaro center console?

I put one into my 'Bird console years ago, same difference. Bolted in with no problems... Should be a piece of cake if you got the right shifter.

Max I put the B&M Hammer in my stock console. I just cut the base down and then added clips to the inside that hold it down to the console plate.

I used the B&M Mega Shifter...

I got the kit designed for the console cars and it bolted right in.

thats it, the mega-shifter... what kit did you get? it is much different than the standard mega-shifter?

The kit is designated as a "console" model. It's about 10 bucks cheaper then the "floor" mount model because it doesn't include the black box you see in my attached photo.

Watch eBay... They can be had for a good price there and Summit or Jegs has them for 160 or so...

the only difference i can tell between the two, and yes i've had both of them, is that the quicksilver doesnt have the pull release mechanism. To get it out of park you have to pull up on the entire handle and then it plops down into gear.
