Horseshoe Shifter Conversion

I'm new to this site and just purchased my first Camaro a few weeks ago on Craigslist. With a few little repairs here and there the car is going to be bad ***. Yesterday I began to think about changing the shifter and other things, to make the car more of the way I want it. So I was thinking.
Is there anyway to replace the stock shifter in a 91 Camaro with a classic Horseshoe shifter? I have always wanted that shifter in my car. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
