here is my 2 cents. IF you are gonna scrap the SM465-NP205 setup, just make the decision which you would rather have, automatic or a manual, if you want a manual go with the chevy or dodge NV4500, If you want a automatic go with the 700R- NP208 combo, both are good choices and can be fairly easy to find, tho they can be a bit pricey, both are pretty straight forward swaps. there are modifications and some fab work either way. I personally prefer the NV4500, that's what I'm putting in my 71 K20. Coop
