I wonder if some fancy fabrication could make a 240 short shifter work?

A short throw shifter simply has to do with where the pivot points are mounted on your shift linkage, you could easily drill new holes to mount the pivot points and create a DIY short throw.
Obviously this would have to be done outside of the vehicle lol

it pivots on a ball so the ball would have to be cast higher or lower if i am not mistaken on the design.

You are right, but you also often have to raise the socket the ball sits in higher.
