I think you will pretty much on your own here-you will have to fabricate something yourself,including the shifter coupling.I am doing one at the moment for my Drag car,but I'm lifting the torsion bar tubes and the forks as well.

your pain is gonna come whwn you need to make up a shifter mechanism to cope with the raised gearbox. i'd suggest raising the tunnel by the same height you raise tranny. Otherwise making the handbrake and gears work together will be a real pain the in backside. Although, you are using a beetle box where I was using a kombi box.

this is what we came up with...
