Help Choosing a Transmission

I am building a 76 ford f100 with a 351m/400 and i need a new transmission ASAP. It has an automatic C6, i think, but i want a manual transmission since i am planning on making my truck a fast sports truck.

which transmission would be the best if i want long ratios for more speed? and what would i have to take it off at the junkyard?

thanks in advance
