Yenko Deuce Shifter info/pic wanted
 
I am looking for info on the Deuce 4sp Hurst shifter.
Anyone have a picture of a Yenko Deuce Hurst 4sp shifter?
Did it use same shifter body as 69 Camaro or 70 Camaro?
What is the number stamped on shift handle?
thanks

JoeC;
Same shifter as a '69 Camaro, 9hole GM bracket, BB shifter rods (reportedly), and Pontiac GTO/Tempest bench seat Hurst arm #4177.

Thanks Marlin
there are two 69 Camaro shifter plates (SB and BB)
SB is about 1/2 thick BB is about 1 in thick. So if Deuce used BB rods then would need BB plate?
BB plate makes sence to me because it would move shifter closer to driver which is how most Nova shifters are. Nova shifters normally have less offset then Camaro shifters I have seen.

I see your logic Joe, but the Deuces actually have the SB attaching plate because the shifter comes up through the middle of the tunnel. You are correct, all other Nova 4speed shifters come through offset to the driver's side, but the Deuces are the only Novas to come through the center.

It's a strange combination of parts:

'69 Camaro shifter
SB attaching bracket
BB shifter rods
SB engine mounts
BB trans crossmember
GTO shifter arm
Black ball
'69 Camaro boot and trim ring

That must be a Motion Yenko Deuce since it has the MP on the seat!

thanks guys
What I am thinking is how the BB rods can work with the SB plate since there is about 1/2 difference in offset. Maybe the trans dog levers are differnt on the Deuce then the BB Camaro to make up the difference in offset? Some trans use an offset dog lever some have flat levers. I would need a pic of a complete assembly installed on trans to see how they did it.

Trans levers are flat. Don't know for sure if those are BB part numbers for those rods, another deuce owner told me they were. It would be hard for them to work with flat levers without the offset bracket!

What year GTO is the shifter handle from?

Actually, I think the #4177 arm spans the '65 through '72 years for both GTO's and Tempests - bench seat cars only, that is why they are so hard to find.

I have two complete shifter setups, less rods, stashed away. It has taken over 5 years to assemble those two setups, one piece at a time!
