Didn't factory 4spd trucks (big trucks w/the granny geared 1st) have a hole in the floor for the shifter? Besides, that's easy enough to 'reverse' should you ever deem it necessary vs. a cut/modified firewall.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
