strong 5 speed?
is there anyway to build a manual transmission? i know in the older trucks the ZF was the strong tranny, but what can be done in the 97+ trucks? can they be built to handle something like 500hp?

Nope, you would have to put a ZF in. It can be done, but you gotta have a body lift or hack most of the tunnel away.

JMC has a M5OD in his blown 5.4 and he's been through 5 of them.
