The tranny is a Saginaw 4 speed out of my friend's 1969 Camaro.
Thanks ahead of time for your help!

If you already have the factory crossmember under the bellhousing you could run a rear mount bellhousing with the 4-speed. That is how a manual V-8 truck would have come in 1969.
If you do not already have that crossmember, I would pick up an aluminum bellhousing and install a generic transmission crossmember under the tailhousing of the 4-speed.
