Keisler and classic 5 speed are your two best bets, but they come at a premium. Just like any upgrade.

Both kits mentioned above are outstanding kits and make it very easy to make the upgrade. A few of us have installed 5 speeds that required more modification and time but were much cheaper. The challenge of finding the parts, making adapters and mods to make it all work was fun for me. But I have the tools and shop space that make it easier.
Keisler is located here in the Knoxville area, and having visited their new facility, I have to say they are doing the R & D and invested the money to turn out a great product.
