4 to 5 speed gearbox swap ln46r "L" 2.2l diesel

Hi. I used to own a rn105 hilux. 5 speed & loved it. A few cars later i have a 1981 ln46r 2.2l diesel & love it more. The only downside apart from needing a turbo & a straight through exhaust (i have future plans for this) is it has a 4 speed gearbox &  whilst traveling down the freeway at 100kms/hr its reving at 3500rpm & red line is at 4500rpm. It really needs another gear. Which 5 speed box should i use to fit my "L" motor? Any help is much appreciated. 

 

Pic is to show my lux. Just finished sorting out the rust.

Shane, I'm not sure if you still are wanting to know as my reply is late. You probably already know that a Celica 5 speed gearbox fits directly into the LN40 Hilux. I think there are two types of Celica gearboxes, a steel one and an aluminium one but I'm told that only one type fits. I can find out which one if you like. Ever since I purchased my Hilux in 1983, I immediately put a reconditioned Celica gearbox into my ute. To be honest, over the years I've had quite a few troubles. What happens eventually is it jumps out of 5th gear. I've solved the problem by getting one from the wreckers but I'm told that in Brisbane there is a gearbox specialist who is able to recondition the boxes instead of getting one from the wreckers. There is no doubt that it sure needs that extra gear. If there were a 6 speed box available, that would be even better.
