Tubman X 2. In years past, I had far better luck with Hurst shifters than other brands. The Hurst units were much better built than some of the others. The OD will be an issue, I'm sure.

Thanks for the speedy replies. I'm using a 59 block for several reasons and I was afraid I'd get the responses I did . . . although I agree with them. Since I have one and only one 59 block and the engine is completely built as well as the transmission, I guess that's what I'll use for mock-up...

I'd agree with replacing the pump gaskets. Be sure to get a good six point socket to attack the bolt inside the water passage. A lot better chance of getting it out rather than rounding it off!
