Your '56 235 has a pressure oil system, which is a significant improvement over the 216 splash oil approach.
Finding the correct floor shifter might be a trick. I've seen several with an H pattern floor shift where 2nd was over and down and 3rd was over and up, because the column shift levers are different than what the floor shift expects...
