I would advise against it. Every floor shift conversion I've ver driven never really shifted right. The last one had that shifter you mention, it was a '55 2nd, the shift throws were so long that in reverse and second, the shifter was practically laying flat on the floor. Stay with the column shifter, you'll be much happier. Or if you want a floor shift, consider swapping out to either an SM420 4 speed or one of the Saginaw conversions from Patricks.
