Subaru Impreza 6 Speed Swap

Hey guys! These forums appear to hold a huge wealth of knowledge. I have a 1993 Subaru impreza fwd with a 5 speed. I know subaru put 6 speeds in some of their more sporty go fast models. I am still researching to see if I could find a 6 speed out of one of those models that would fit in place of my 5 speed. My theory behind this would be to drop my highway cruising rpms with a 6th gear overdrive to return better highway mileage. Currently I am averaging 33mpg in mixed driving and 30 on the highway turning 3000 rpm at 65-70mph. My wheel nut has a couple screws loose so it is constantly getting tweaked for better mpgs. Any input/ knowledge would be greatly appreatiated!
