Your problem won't be so much the trans , but rather ,the clutch.
Too much weight, not enough hp and rpm to use counterweights effectively.
I f you can't afford a Jericho, I'm going to assume you won't be able to put a good clutch in it either.
You CAN find an old Doug Nash 4+1 with about a 2.96 low and it will be strong enough, but remember, a 1 to1 4th gear, is still driving through the cluster. You 'll have some loss there.
Bottom line though, is, and trust me when I tell you this (been there, done that) , this whole deal is a bad idea. I would advise you to not do this.
