You're in luck! The Keisler forward-mount shifter will work in the V M12 T56. It has the standard "Hurst" configured shifter stub too! 
It's actually easier than the conversion of a "regular" T56, as you don't have to cut the shaft. The M12 shaft changes sizes at the shifter cup. The shaft going to the V M12 reverse lockout is smaller than the regular T56 shaft so you have to have a sleeve made that will adapt it to the Keisler shifter cup's rear hole.
You have to make sure that the pin hole in the M12 rear shaft establishes the correct relationship between the reverse lockout blade and the solenoid.
