97 up camry solara 5 speed or you could convert an e153 out of an mr2 to work. or you could use a 3sge tranny from a 4th gen celica. quite a few options

you'll end up running it FWD, but whatever you do, dont use the FE trans. it WILL explode. id be werry of using the GE tranny, but as long as you go easy on it, you might be alright. the E153 would be the best bet.
