Anyone ever converted a '59 Edsel Ranger 2dr hardtop to a 4 speed?

Hello I have a 1959 Edsel Ranger 2dr hardtop an it currently has the 223 6cyl an 3 speed on the column. I actually plan to keep the 223 an 3 speed if I ever want to make it original again. I want to upgrade to the 361 "Super Express" V8. I realize no Edsel's had 4 speeds only the 2 speed auto or a 3 speed auto or the standard 3 speed. Anyway I would like to go to a 4 speed rather then the 3 speed I know both are 1:1. This is not to boost my mpg just only to make it more fun to drive as i like to shift on the floor an enjoy a added gear. I dont want to mess up the column only remove the shifter an the 3 speed shifting linkage as you may know its to hard an rare to replace plus I want to be able to put it back original if i wanted. What ford 4 speeds would work best just for a daily driver behind a 361? Has anyone else did this setup? I also want to upgrade the brake master cylinder to dual master cylinder an keep the drum brakes all the way around but not sure what dual nonpower brake master cylinder I need. I heard '59 ford fairlanes had a dual master cylinder you could buy so im sure it should fit my edsel since its basiclly the same design on the single master cylinder bolt pattern. Also i would like to know if i would need to shorten or lenghten my driveshaft to accept the 4 speed. Any help is much apperciated!
