Are there any good write ups on 4-speed floor shifter install into a factory console that you guys know of?
 
Or which model are guys using? I see the Megashifter, is that the console model for a TA/Camaro?
 
There is an aftermarket company that makes a custom shift plate that works with the mega shifter and star shifter. They also sell a blank shift plate that can be cut to fit almost any b&m shifter. I am installing a b&m hammer shifter in my el camino ill post pics when I get to that part of the build if you haven't installed yours by then
 
I fit the B&M Pro Ratchet in the stock console of my old car with no problem. Only had to pop off the plastic piece that had gear indicators on it. I also added a metal piece on top under the console that I painted black just to close up the gap and it also gave me a better place to stick the B&M gear indicator sticker.

Ok so you guys aren't buying console specific shifters. That makes sense. I have some ideas to try to get it to look as stock as possible, but it's gonna take a lot of monkeying around.

I'm leaning toward the Quicksilver

they are not column specific shifters, you can see how I mounted mine, before I snatched it all out, in my El Co thread, lots of pictures and info, but its toward the end somewhere!
 
The hack that had the lemans before me put one in but cut the plate that covers it so it would go in first.
