D&D offers a complete 6-speed kit.
As far as mixing and matching parts, you can't because you have to have a custom driveshaft when installing a t-56 in a fox

The internals of a T-5 have little to do with its longevity; that's more dependant on the way it is driven. A worn out T-5 could easily last over 200K miles if driven conservatively (no clutch drops, easy shifing, no power adder, etc.), On the other hand, a brand new T-5 could go out in less than 10,000 if it has been beat on teally hard.

An earlier TKO or a newer tremec would be a good choice. Or a G-force T5. Call Astro Transmission or ProMotion Powertrain.

T56 won't just "bolt in place." Different mounts, driveshaft, bellhousing, shifter, etc...
The G-force kit in a T5 woudl be your best bet. Excellent trans (up to about 500hp) and everything fits as a stocker would. Again. Astro Performance or ProMotion Powertrain has them, or you can send one to them for the work.
