Drblk, hasn’t been on this site since 2014, so maybe you could google a machine shop or perhaps order an adapter from Summit or American shifter .
You know the threads on the factory shifter , do you know the thread size in the hurst handle?

like this , now remember the sifter is smooth so you can choose what ever fits better

My SS manual has a reverse lockout, where you have to pull up on an outer sleeve in order to shift into reverse. This mod doesn't address that. Perhaps LS/LT doesn't have this safety feature?

It doesn’t mention in the owners manual, about the manual transmission shifter , going into reverse

Ok, I see it in my owners manual, it's an SS only thing.

I have a manual LT and a manual SS.

As Oldblue said, the non-SS manual has no lockout for reverse, just over as far as possible to the right and down.

Also, the manual in the SS shifts light years smoother than the LS/LT manual.

Here’s how I adapted custom shift knob for automatic transmission shifter



I took the knob to the hardware store , matched up the brass fitting to it, then tapped it to match the bolt Used as a plunger.

Honestly an F23 with the right mods seems to shift better than an F35 with the same mods. By the way, you could take reverse lockout from an F23 caviler or sunfire and use it with a b&m shifter
