I'm currently running a TH350C behind my '79 small block in my '50 and frankly it's boring me to death,i've always had 3 pedals and a stick in all my rides.
I'm also looking to giving my truck longer legs on the freeway without having to change the final drive ratio which is currently a 3.27 Posi Gen-3 Firebird rear end.
A couple of extra MPGs wouldn't go amiss either.

Due to being in the UK I can't just simply pop round to my local Pick 'n' pull and yank a manual trans from a junker.

So my question is: Is there a 5 speed manual trans,clutch,flywheel etc that will simply unbolt from a car/truck that will then bolt directly to my engine without having to resort to changing the bellhousing,release bearing etc or any other components,and if so,what vehicle(s) should I be looking for?
I understand the location of the gearstick might play a part but i'd even go to bucket seats if required.

TIA.
