The Allison MD-3060r would be the best bet and should fit, has a retarder and double overdrive. The trans is hard to find used, I've looked, even without the retarder, and with the controller (necessary) will probably set you back around $12,000 or more with installation (driveshaft needs shortening I believe).
If you're looking for speed or to lower engine RPMs, and have the original 5.29:1 gears, I strongly suggest switching the differential ratio instead. A 4.63:1 or 4.44:1 set should give you what you want for around $1600.
We have one member (wanderlodge.org) who has gone all of the way to a 4.11:1 and is happy with the change, I'm quite happy with my 4.63 (but would probably prefer 4.44).
