bullet proof trans?

all right i m building quite a rig and i want a bullet proof manual trans to put in it. its started as a 87 f 150 but it got completly stripped frame was boxed im putting in a cage, a pair of dana 60 underneath and of corse a efi460 power plant and 12in of lift, but i dont no what kind of trans obiously it needs to have a granny gearbut also im going to still want it steetable(to show it of course) so i would really like a 5 speed. so that were i sit i was possibly thinking a nv4500 but i dont no ifthat would bolt to a ford bellhousing or if ther were other options
thanx

NV4500. AA adapter plate is $218, make your own pilot bushing. You can mate a ford 205 to a dodge 4x4 NV with a 29 spline HD 205 input and a pre-94 cummins 4x4 NP205-getrag adapter housing. Or go with a clark or a car tranny, but those have thier problems as well, especially adapting them to a T-case. What do you need a 5 speed for? Why not just go 435? They're cheap, everything bolts up and they work fine.

Yup, 435. If you're going to only street it "for show" (whatever that means) then the 435 will cruise decently for you.
