This info ought to be in the Hollanders interchange manual, which you might

Bear in mind that the 5 speed manuals used in the same American cars which
used the Borg-Warner 35 automatic might not bolt up in an LBC.  Different
bellhousings might have been used.  This is how Advanced Adaptors and Novak
make their living, and the adaptors they sell aren't cheap (typically $500).

OTOH you might luck out and find a $100 boneyard 5 speed which is a drop in...
