Been a while since I did mine. What five-speed is it? I think you'll need and adapter if it's an MQ/MK as the bellhousing is different to the GQ RB30 pattern.

It's obviously a physically longer gearbox so you're going to need a longer front shaft and a shorter rear one.

Gearbox mounts will need changing as well

A lot of work fitting up a 5spd box :shock:

You'll need a bellhousing thats drilled to suit the MQ box ( 4/5 speed are the same pattern ) and drilled to suit the new motor.......

Castlemain Rodshop...... have a look in the MQ-MK bibles under the V8 motors section for the link.
