Re: overdrive manual transmission options?

I didn't include the gear vendors, only because at $3k, it's a little out of my price range. And I wouldn't consider the nv3500 due to durability issues.
Am I missing anything?

Out of the three options I listed, what are the pros and cons? what has worked the best for you?

This is how I replaced my SM465 with an NV4500 in my '72 Chevy Dually.

That was in 2015 and it is still working great today....
