81cutlass touched on this under the thread of stick conversion kits. thought i would start a thread on it.
The AR5 5 speed out of a colorado is a good option behind mild v8's these days. Stronger for sure than a t5 and pretty cheap ($200-$400). The adapter plate does have some cost to it, but its about $1000 for the adapter plate, clutch, trans, slave cylinder combo. About what a T5 would end up especially assuming most are beat to crap and these AR5's are easy to get.
