1965 dart automatic - Can i do a floor shift and keep the Bench Seat?

My car is a 1965 Dart convertible 270.
Soon I'm movin on up from a 273 to a 360.
To make room for some tti headers, i need to change from the column shift floor shift. But i do not want to switch to bucket seats.

So. A bench seat and Auto shift console on the floor in my '65 is the goal.

Has anyone set their car up this way? Have any pictures?

Was the stock cable for the shifter long enough to place the console in front of the bench?
Or will i have to cut the console?
Or get a longer cable?

Thank you in advance for the guidance.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

(and a very merry x-mas to you and yours.)
