Budget well.
As much as it might cost.
Is there anything that is direct bolt in??

There are gearboxes that will bolt up to the motor, but they require custom driveshafts.
So no, there is no direct "plug & play" 5 speed.

What gearboxes are they??
I don't mind having to get custom shafts.

No idea, you'd have to call some importers or import wreckers and ask!

i've got driveshafts from an F5B auto, which may or may not be suitable, i'll get some measurements for you.

Also have the suspension and brakes/hub to suit.

While i get the pics ready, i should note that there is a difference in both shaft and spline comparing the 2WD sohc auto vs the 4wd dohc manual, and the difference could be down to either of the 3 variances.

Hmm, pics of the shafts either don't exist or they're still on the camera, either way i won't be able to get them until this coming sunday.
