Hi . Welcome to the Board.
Quick answers:
1] Bellhousing for Muncie SM 465 requires a wider opening than the Saginaw 3-OTT bellhousing. 465 uses GM # 3925505 w/ 5-1/8" opening. Sag and Muncie SM 420 [4 speed] require GM #3815891 w/4-9/16" opening. A good machinist can open up the bellhousing, usually.
2] Don't know. Have to check my '68 C/10 stepside, w/292-SM465.
3] Yes. Both 420 and 465 require High Hump.
4] Don't know offhand. Data like that is in the Chassis Service and Overhaul Manuals.
