66 floor shift cable:front or back??

Not factory column shift...why not use factory floor shift ? I sold the entire package out of my '66 parts car for 250 bucks including console. All you need is the console, the floorshifter and bracket. Linkage to the trans, and the brackets for the floorpan to mount the console to.
I can,t find motor mounts from members,sure I,d like a factory floor shifter and console.There is nothing early in any scrapyards around my area.
