Re: any suggestions?

I went from the SM465 to a NV3500. IT was a fairly simple job, the only thing I had to deal with was make a new hydraulic line for the clutch. The slave cylinder for the NV3500 is on the passengers side, plus the speedo pickup is magnetic (but I already had an electronic speedo).

If you go this route, read around. There are different versions of the NV3500, the later ones are supposed to be better. However mine came out of an 89 Cheyenne and has well over 200,000 miles on it. I put it in with 189000 and have never done anything to it.
