Transmission alternatives?

I've decided to keep my 61 Unibody as stock as possible - 223 inline six with the three-speed column shift. Don't know if I can live with the three speed though due to the high revving on the highway. Does anyone know of a 4 or 5 speed that would bolt up to my 223? Thanks!

I've seen a Clark 250 (5sp) bolted up to a 223. Don't know if they made the 250 in an OD model or not. If not, change your rear axle ratio, & use the Clark with 5th direct. Hope this helps, Elliott
