[Alpines] clutch handicap : my tiger needs an automatic

[John and Sandra Lee]

FOR medical reasons I Have lost strength and co-ordination on my left 
side as a result I need to eliminate the ford top loader 4 speed and 
clutch on my Tiger rebuild.
My option of course is to install an automatic transmission. I look for 
advice and tips from someone who has done this before.
What model of Ford transmission should I look for, will it fit without 
making any alterations to the transmission tunnel or firewall?  What 
about the shift indicator?
Has somebody used a console from a Mustang? or similiar?  I am not 
building a "screamer" powerplant is a stock Ford 260 and has a stock 
Tiger rear end. I know it is a shame, but the manual has to go.
