Do you want overdrive? It would be smart to go that way.
NV4500 or a ZF 5 or 6 speed would work fine, along with that an old school NP205, either divorced or married.
If you do not want overdueve there are a lot of 4 speeds that are up to the task and would look right at home. T18 or T19 and quite a few NP trannies would work - you just need the right adapter.
But do you have fabrication equipment and skills? There are a bunch of mods for the semi that make it more reliable and use off the shelf parts - but these engines do cost a bit to build them right.
