What you CAN NOT DO is to attach a manual gearbox to a SC engine. If you do a search, you’ll find lots of inquiries about this.

I did the swap and I collected all of the parts from 7 wrecks. It would have been cheaper to just buy one complete. When sourcing parts/components it was like buying two cars. Buying one complete donor with have been the easiest/fastest with respect to plug and play. Buy one with a bad back end. The front end is the most critical with respect to power plant and electronics then locate the Rear pumpkin And driveshafts from another

There is a complete car on Cars.com for 8k USD

The component parts for your conversion will easily cost that much

If you can put this together with components, awesome but it’s going to be a large shipping container with parts.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes
If you can dream it, you can do it. It will just take time and money
Can’t the stock 6 speed transmission take the extra 50% power increase? Surely just an updated clutch and some careful driving could preserve the gearbox with a supercharger upgrade.
Also nice Walt Disney quote.
