5 Speed tranny upgrade question

Does anyone know which 5 speed(s) they put behind the 360s in the Rams?
Will they bolt up / fit a 98 318 Dakota? What is overall length? Length to
the mount? Length to shifter? Does it use the same slave cylinder, flywheel,
pressure plate, Crank position sensor, etc???

I've determined that the mechanic did screw up my head gaskets. So I'm
going to pull the motor, and do a bottom end R&R. It would be the perfect
time to swap to a beefier unit.

Also does anyone have a recommendation on rings for a supercharged motor?

I've found that Clevite makes a 220 degree main bearing that will get a
little more oil to the rods. (MS1334Z) Does anyone know if there is still a
full groove main bearing available?
