Re: 5 speed advice
Not sure about a 5-speed, but Tyler at American Touring Specialties has a kit to bolt in a T56 6-speed.

Re: 5 speed advice
A really good friend of mine swapped in a T-56 from his totalled 94 camaro into his 67RS. Built 327 and a six speed with 4.56 gears makes for a NICE combination....
He got an adapter plate from Mcleod and then converted the input shaft on the trans to the LS1 style input shaft (non-pull type clutch) and was able to use his mechanical linkage from the M-21 that he had in there. You will need to use a bellhousing from a SBC and a clutch for a LS1, but I think you can use a regular style Pressure Plate... You will also have to modify your trans crossmember... Nice setup though and it puts the shifter back a few inches which makes for a really nice shifting position...
Just FYI
