I need a Stick Shift!!!!!!

Big question here. Im sick of an auto in my truck. its a 72 gmc longbed. i just dropped in the new engine, and performance isnt what i expected, do to the fact that the auto tranny shifts much before the power is down to the ground. i need a stick so that i can hold it out there, and drop the clutch to smoke the tires.I was wondering what the easiest way was to go about the auto to sitck **** swithc? does anyone make a kit to do this? if not, what is involed in this switch? i know its a big project, but that dont matter. i want a stick shift. whats a good tranny to get for a 350? i know that some of these trucks came with a four no the floor. is it possible to bolt in a 4 speed?
what is involved in drivleine changes? Any other problems i would come across? anyone have pitucres if theyve already done the swap? thanx alot guys. sorry bout the long post
