Default Short shifter for v6?

So I am looking to put a short shifter in my 2007 v6. It has some mods so its not a typical v6 but I am really into putting a short shifter in. I wanted a hurst, but i see that they say most are only for GT's so thats why I am confused. I need help, what kind can fit a v6 that is a nice one? I don't want to stay with the original shifter ball either. If anyone has any picture that would be nice too, thanks.

Not sure about a V6, but if they do this is the best.

It doesn't tell if it allowed for a v6 or not. It doesn't tell in the installation videos either. I emailed the company though. Thanks.

I put the saleen shifter block in mine, it reduces the throw by 25%, don't have problems with 2nd to 3rd shift, its cheap at $50, and its not difficult to install. Just throwing that out as an option.

MGW does sell a shifter for the V6/T5.

WAIT! I just found this digging through the Ford website, its a Ford racing Hurst short throw shifter with a cue ball shift ****! Pretty nice in my opinion.

Wow that does look really nice, but i already ordered the mgw and the mgw is much cheaper then that. I did a lot of research and the mgw looks to be the best on the market for a v6

I have the Hurst for my sixxer, I love it but it does seem to transfer more noise at times.
price was around 160.00 in 2008. heres a pic, although its not a very good one
