If your motor is stock, you might get away with using an F-body World-Class T5. Some resourcefulness is necessary.

I haven't found a decent complete hydraulic conversion that is not intended for an LS and T56. I asked the company the OP has a link too...
No straight answers or referrals to customers using a T10, a Super T10, Muncie M20, M21, M22 or Richmond/Nash five or six speed....!!?!

Don't use a Richmond 6 speed for anything unless somebody gives you one for free. It's not worth the hassle.
The Overdrive gear is only rated at 150 ft-lb of torque. The special, close ratio, "road race" 6th gear is only rated at 250 ft-lb's of torque. This info is DIRECT FROM RICHMOND.
The std OD is weaker than a T5 OD.
I have the T5 WC in my GP and it has a little more hp than a stock 350. I don't abuse it and it's fine although I can burn the 245 tires off of of the rim if I want and get a nice chirp going into 2nd. The GM shifters are junk and cause transmission issues so I have a hurst shifter that prevents overshifting.
Obviously 1000hp, everyone has 1000hp these days.

Well, I built a copy of a 1970 LS6 454 and not concerned with horsepower...its the torque. I have several Muncie and B/W transmissions. I have a reproduction bench seat shifter arm for a Hurst application. I want to run small tube headers and a clutch. I want to make the Malibu that I would have ordered or built in 78-81.

GBOTM stickers, brah. I think I have a pair coming which I will split with you... that is 500hp each!
