No such thing as "won't work".
You can make anything work with a torch, a welder and some creative engineering.
I once made a 1966 Saginaw 3 speed work on my '50 buy welding some 1950 shift levers on to the 1966 levers to put the throw in the right orientation and in the right direction to work as intended in 1950.
