Converting a Column Shifter to a floor shift (NOT MANUAL)
Is it even possible? Has anyone attempted it before? If so, what parts would I need to make it happen?

Wait, are you asking about swapping the automatic out for a manual transmission, or just switching from the column shifter to the floor shifter? I would think that the latter would be quite possible, if that'* what you're asking.

I wouldn't think it would be that hard. Find a donor car in a yard somewhere, steal the entire center console and shift cable... maybe also the steering column (to avoid still having a non-functional column shifter). Wouldn't that be it?
EDIT: Oh, and probably bucket seats too.
Yeah, it would be a PITA. But it'* possible, if you really want to do it anyway.

Okay I didn't mean to manual, I meant from column shift to floor shift.
So it is possible then you guys think? Need the cable and the console?
I have (probably) access to an entire interior so I'm contemplating this as a possibility.
