No they should not allow 4 speeds(manual) in stock. Blasphemy I say! Besides you have to do some real hanky panky to make the shifter clear the original bench seat. Whats next bucket seats in stock.

Allan - Make no mistake - I'm a purist at heart ...........................that being said you have to remember that none of the cars I race came with Metric 200's so a 4 speed in a '57 Bel Air is not a stretch for me .Blasphemy - not hardly as they ran them for awhile in the old days before they were outlawed .As far as the shifter thing is concerned Hurst made a really neat deal for these cars so the seat wouldn't have to be altered .
