Anyone know off hand what i would need to swap a 5 speed transmission into my 1985 olds cutlass supreme brougham that as of right now has a 305 with a th350 trans???? what transmission would be best for the swap and is there anyone who makes a kit for the clutch or anything???
 
If you're looking for a factory trans, a T5 from a V8 F-body is a good candidate provided you aren't putting down huge HP/TQ numbers (will be fine behind that 305). You could use the entire clutch assembly c/w bellhousing from the donor car. You can also use the pedals if you don't mind modifying them a bit. There are different options with pedals depending on if you go with hydraulic or mechanical linkage. You TH350 crossmember will work will with minor mods (this is what I used).

This page has a lot of good info to get you started:
