200-r4 trans suggestions

Truck is an 64 short stepside and just purchased a 66 250 straight six engine that I plan to rebuild and install. Current motor is 350, powerglide with 12 bolt 3.73 in the rear. Would like to keep the 3.73 gears, go with the straight 250 and overdrive trans. Any suggestions on what years I should look for in an 200-r4. Heard their the same length as a th350 and PG. Looking for that friendly highway feeling.

People get confused because the next iteration of it was the 700R4
