The B&M universal type floor shifter will work.
Oooh, my bad -- I was thinking about the starshifter/megashifter types, cable driven, that have their own detents. B&M has a "universal" that I would have bought if I didn't already have a StarShifter; it's basically an automatic version of a through-the-floor manual shifter. It's probably detent-agnostic.
I've seen it done with M-11/12 trannys, the older ones may have a different stroke but I didn't think so. I've used another factory floor shifter on a M-35, but I don't recall what it came from -- I think it was a T/A or Camaro (si of one, half dozen of the other...). I took it out because I didn't want to build a console box to cover the ugly thing. I seem to recall it didn't lock all the way in one gear, but that may have been the way the shifter was made/worn. I don't recall which gear, but think it was low, may have been drive. Park worked fine though.

Have you done it? I though the detent-to-detent position was different on the TorqueFlites vs. the BWs? Plus I think PARK is a slightly bigger distance than say P to R or R to N.
I've had a B&M StarShifter for some time, and tried to match it up to my little aluminum case BW, manually measured the trans shift lever stroke at the pivot hole.
But I didn't write anything down, or actually put the cable on it and measure the linear stroke (as opposed to the arc the lever follows). I could be talk out my a**.
