T5s from 2.8 f-bodies are a dime a dozen around here. I don't know about down there, but I would imagine they're still more plentiful than other makes. Anything besides this setup is going to require major custom fabrication. I'd start checking with some american junk yards. T5s are light enough that you can get them shipped through UPS or Fed Ex or whatever.
