Just wanted to close this thread out and explain something.
I don't recommend trying this unless you can remove the assembly and/or very--and I mean, VERY SKILLED. The drilled holes have to be precise otherwise you have issues with the lockout. A hot rod shop, and even I, attempted to make this work and failed miserably.
I am going to purchase the Shifting Assembly (it's the entire unit that sits in your center console) from a 2012 Ford Taurus SHO for $160 from Fred Beans Parts. I will report back in few weeks on whether or not it was successful. I believe it is a direct swap without any issues as this box really does nothing but move the shifting linkage on the transmission.
You can see the two attempts at finding the right place for the handle to sit--we failed.
