Shifter questions

[hillbean]

Hey guys you all have been a great help so far on my project. I built the trans crossmember have the engine and trans installed. Im now looking at shifters i would like to do a column shift my question is is it possible to safely change a three on the tree to automatic. If its not i was looking at some universal floor shifters and wanted some opinions im considering the mr gasket one like this
