I've used the Shiftworks OD kit a couple of times, and it works great.
Most used consoles go for around $250-350 depending on condition. The used shifters go for anywhere from $50 to $100 depending on condition.
I think you can buy all new stuff from NPD or SS396 for around $500?

Depending on the shape of your floor some shifters may fit better than others. Camaro/Nova, Chevelle/Monte Carlo, and Impalas all had different bases on them... Camaro/Nova style seem to be the easiest to find used originals at swap meets.

The guy said it took quit a bit of trimming... Does this look Chevelle to you?
The console is Chevelle, not sure about the shifter.

Have you looked at a 68-72 nova console setup. Can use the horseshoe shifter but much shorter console so your e-brake would not be affected.

The Camaro shifters have a flat base, the Chevelle ones have a stairstep to them because of the floor. Not sure if the nova is same as the Camaro or not.
I would definitely go with a positive detent modification if I went to a staple shifter again. I found it too easy to over shift, though with the 4 speed auto, the gates were shorter too.
Saw one installed in a Vega and I like it..

He saved the original E-Brake location.

This guy makes new staple shifters and can do flat consoles too: www.kilduffmachine.com/
