You have a couple options - get a adapter to mount a dodge nv4500 to your bellhousing or get a new ford 5spd out of a newer pickup with 300, 302, 351w. The nv4500 is a strong 5spd trans and will allow you to use your original clutch linkages. The Ford 5spd is cheaper and plenty strong for a 300, but you will need to fabricate a hydrolic clutch system.
