It did a search, but didn't come up with much about using the stock manual 5-speed when swapping to a v8. I assume it will bolt up fine, but what flywheel and clutch would you use? Where the only v8's with manual trannies 4.8's? Would a 4.8 flywheel and clutch work?

The only concern would be the HP rating in which the 5 speed can handle, i believe you would also need the 4.8 flywheel and a heavy duty clutch.
You could always do a t-56 swap with a larger clutch, I just dont think that a stock 5-speed can take the abuse the larger V8 will give it.
What engine are you wanting to swap in?
