non cummins questions..tranny adapters for detroit 353?'s

Looking for stick tranny adapters ideas for a 353 detroit ...looking to make a 4wd creature using a old samuri chassi i have and a 353 i have..i on't have atranny yet and i'm debating if the sammy axles will hold up?..only 150-200 hp for my project ..but i must have a stick tranny as i'm going to be looking for a jake for it..if i can piece this together it would be very cool..need something that would be able to cruis on the highway too ..so ultra low gearing is out..
the theoretical plan is to basically take a sammy frame and a vw rabbit pickup..mount the vw body on the sammy frame and use a my 353 on it..i am planning on streching the sammy fram eto fit and i plan on stretching the rabbit pickup to fit 2dr rabbit door on it. stock rabbit pickups used 4dr rabbit door so leg room sucks in a stock one....
If need be i have adanna 44 from a blazer front axle and a 9"ford rear too...or geat other stuff.cheap..just basically looking to do a truck that will run max speed of 85 mph and have a jake and 4x4 with dual stacks,,hehe
any ideas or brain storms?
thanks
