Brewers sell a composite floor hump for that application.
You beat me to it. I just posted it.

The Original Partstitute
It's worth mentioning that the Brewer's part is a reproduction of the 1966-only floor tunnel.
The 1964-'65 tunnel had a smaller riser around the shifter and used a small round boot and retainer/bezel (and in some cases a decorative plate with the 4-speed pattern). The correct early hump can be seen here. Good originals can be difficult to find; perfect ones can be expensive.
The 1964-'65 boot, retainer/bezel, and shift-pattern plate:
The three items pictured above will set you back about $400 total.
The 1966 tunnel uses the same oval shifter boot setup as the 1967-up A-bodies. Those parts are more easily found and much less expensive, so it's really down to whether you want it to look factory-original. If cost is a big factor though, Brewer's fiberglass piece is probably the best option.

I believe Brewers clarifies that the reason they don’t cut the hole in the floor is because of the two shifter styles so it can work for either the round or oval opening .. when you cut the opening for your application of course. a person commented on their post asking about it.. just food for thought
