The Nv 3500 is a good choice, just keep the GM fluid in it cause they will self destruct if you don't, the next option is the NV4500 bullet proof truck trans can be a little spendy, T-56 is the best but it comes at a price$$$, what do you want, power wise and $$$ wise will determine what you use. If it came behind a V6 it'll die behind even a lame stock 350, keep it in mind, it may be cheaper, but once you pull it 2 or 3 times cause it keeps failing you cold've had a better (stronger) trans in and no issues.
