Good luck with that search mate.
On top of the correct answer you have already received:
Chris - are you sure there is such a thing as a Maruti 5 speed (here in Australia?) I thought they were 4 speed but you could make a hybrid as per late suzuki 1.0 litres?
dilby, you may already have a "type 3" 1.0 litre than can be made into a hybrid. Otherwise, start searching for a complete 1.0 litre super carry van as these were factory 5 speed. They aren't easy to find though and there is still adaption work that needs to be done. I think having to buy a whole car rates as more effort than building a hybrid gearbox.
Oh, and are you sure your car could even pull 5th gear? Suzuki left them 4 speed for a reason. you would be far better to experiment first by putting 20% bigger tyres on the rear and going for a quick run down the highway. Bet you can't get into 4th gear on the flat. That's the same as trying to drive in 5th with whatever tyres you have on now.
