trans ?s HELP

ok heres the deal im converting my 87 2wd 2 a 3/4 ton 4x4 i have a dana 60 front and a 14 bolt rear with 4:56 gears, for right now it might put a very good runin 305 in it, i know tell me im crazy but money is a issue, i want a mild 350 but that will have to wait! ok i have access to a nv3500 but im not sure if it will last and i dont want a 4spd with the 4:56s and only 33's-35in tires and i also have access to a ford f-350 5spd but i dont have a clue if that would work? so any imput would be very nice lol

I wouldn't touch that NV3500 with a 10 foot pole! They are a very cheesy transmission.

I would say NV4500 but the cost is high. The 4 speeds are a nice trans, but you want overdrive??? NV3500 are too weak... + you will have to do some work getting the hydraulic clutch worked out. And im pretty sure the shifter is far back.
