Not quite the same thing but I once put a T400 in a 66 Malibu that was stock with a PG. Console/floor shifter.

I used the stock shifter by lengthening the upper arm. It gives you more throw at the lower(trans) arm.

Might work for you also.

Some after-market places may have the shift indicator for the dash that you need for the 3-speed trans, to replace the PG indicator. Some columns have detents, & some don't, so you may have to deal with that too......
