That Hurst is a cable-shift setup, most aftermarket shifters are. I would suggest that you look into Lokar shifters, they have cable-shifts too but they also make some real nice transmission-mounted solid-linkage shifters - something like that wouldn't be too hard to fabricate.

Cable-shift, means they got a flexible steel cable that runs from the shifter, through a hole in the floor pan, and then loop to the lever on the side of the transmission. There is a bracket that bolts through two of the trans pan bolts to hold the end of the cable sheathing, then there is usually a lever that you replace the factory one with and that the cable itself attaches to. The factory shift lever is rarely of proper length to work with the throw of an aftermarket shifter, tho I suppose it could be modified accordingly. Actually I have this very idea for my truck, since there are very few floor shifters that work with the E4OD transmission, it would only take a few simple measurements to figure out the proper lever length for whatever shifter I pick...
