I went with a Hurst pistol grip shifter with integrated trans brake button and love it. Relocated to the center console but some guys have had good luck mounting it in the stock location. There very narrow which makes it easier to mount in a number of locations. Heres 2 pics of mine...
Grant Holland is the guy who makes and sells the shifter relocation plates. He can be found on FB. He also does custom hydro dipping now too.
Which long tubes are you running?
