Default Tremec 6 speed shifter.

I`ve just bought an LS1 with the above g/box and need to change the position of the shifter, it needs to be about 6" further forward.

I also need a gear lever.

Could someone tell me the best way to do this please ?

Try a stock Camaro/Firebird shifter, it moves the shifter forward but I'm not sure the exact number of inches it moves forward. Here is a picture.

Camaro shifter doesnt have the extension piece like teh GTO trans does, so probably sites about 3-4 inches further forward.

Should be a simple case of getting a regular Camaro T56 shifter and bolting it in palce of what you have.

Vipers have their shifters located on the square 4 bolt plate near the middle of the trans.

I couldnt say what would suit you better, you would need to measure that for yourself.

I just know the viper stick is situated there. it would depend on your car, seating position etc as to what would suit you best.
