How much BS would it be to transplant a 5 spd from a 5.2 donor. I'm thinking the bell should bolt right up to a 5.9 correct? Gearing would be off for a performance truck I would imagine though huh? Any suggestions?

Check the numbers of the tranny on tourqe limit. The 360 stock puts out enough tourqe to be right on the NV3500 limit. But, yes the bell will bolt up. But you'd need a PCM out of a 5 speed 360 Ram or you'll trip a MIL. Along with a flywheel,and a few other parts. There was a R/T around here that someone put a NV3500 in, he tried to say it came from the factory with it, and that it was a 1 of 1 truck. I don't know how long it survived though cause I never saw it again. If your really serious about going through all the trouble of the swap, then check out some of the purpose built kits out there. That way you'll have a tranny that can handle the 360 with plenty of room for mods.
