I was planning on going this route but changed my plans. I don't like having a super steep 1st gear. You can buy the bellhousing off a 68+ GMC v6 (has the large bell housing hole) and use an adapter from Advanced Adapters with a Dodge Gas NV4500. I decided instead of the nv4500, I am going to go with a built AX15 with an adapter. The gear spread is better on the AX15 for what I am after and will shift smoother.
