Transmission swap 200

I'm planning on changing an automatic over to a manual transmission in an 83 240 turbo, but I'm having some trouble determining all the various parts that are going to need to be changed. I would like to use the M47 5-speed. Is there anyone out there who has done this swap? I haven't been able to find anyone who can tell me if the M47 will mate up to the B21FT motor. Also is the rear end any different then for an automatic? Drive shafts? Would it be much better to find an M46 4-speed/overdrive transmission instead?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
