A 350 will get you by if it's geared right, but you may be limited on top speed.

A 383 will be even better. It doesn't cost much to build a torque monster 383 since the rotating assembly doesn't have to withstand boost,nitrous or high RPM.

If that 5 speed manual has a granny gear, then you should be fine.
