Slant 3 speed trans?

I believe the shift levers will bolt onto an A230. That way, you could upgrade and keep the three on the tree linkage. That's my plan.
My first 2 cars were 3 on the tree deals, I hated them. The RoadToad will get the A230 with a Hurst shifter. Not sure where I will be at till I get the engine/trans in and cut a hole in the floor! The 62 Toad never had a floor shift but the 60-1 did with a goofy "noodle" shifter, used with a bench seat. They dropped that in 62 cause like you would think "noodle" is not good!
