Anybody ever use a Richmond 5 speed?

Yeah, I had heard about the bellhousing not lining up but I have a Lakewood so they basically just had a hole with a nut welded on the inside. I was thinking about this for a Duster drag car I'm planning so I'm not sure the non syncro would be a deal breaker. I may be better off sticking with my 4 speed, since I already own it and I have a Hurst supershifter and a good Centerforce clutch already.
