Three-on-the-Tree with 273 4/bbl?

OK, so this is a shot in the dark to see if anyone can testify from experience.

I've had four 65/66 A-body 273 4bbl cars of which I still have a 66 Dart. Two were 4spds and two AT. My favorite A-body of all of the nearly 100 I've had is the 66 Valiant V100 2dr post. I'm currently working on my "ultimate" in my late 60s with the idea I build it, enjoy it and stop the constant hunting and acquisition.

I learned to drive in a 69 Saab with 4spd column shift. I like column shifts a lot and have had some that were very crisp and precise by virtue of low miles. I'm toying with the idea of using the 50's/60's early hot rod trick of shifting a 4spd trans via a 3spd column shift mechanism. The H pattern easily adopts to one thru four on the column through the original shift rods with the 3rd reverse rod going to a short stick mounted to the side of the trans tunnel. It's what was done in the day when a column shift was considered more advanced and effective then still grabbing a rod coming through the floor like Dad's Model A. For further fun and games, I see adding a Gear Vendors overdrive to the NP833 that makes four-on-the-tree into eight-on-the-tree. What fun!

So here's my question relative to the stock appearance stealth V100 I'm building to look like a 273 Commando car. (I had one). Has anyone ever seen a 273 4bbl Valiant/Cuda/Dart with a 3spd column manual? If that was a base before an optional 4spd or AT, I'd love to do it...
