There is really no easy way to do this.  I'm not even sure it would work at all, to be honest with you.  The 2.8 5-speed should bolt up but you'll be doing a lot of cutting, etc., to get it into the floor pan, etc.  

I'd consider just getting another vehicle with a standard shift if that's what you need.
