"I don't know if you are able to interchange the 93/94 and 94+ bellhousings though..."

Nope, the have different bolt patterns on the face of the tranny. AA sells a bell that will bolt up and hook to a pre-86 SBC. $3-400 price range but you can use the standard style clutch.

Look for a long 32 spline input NP 205. This gear will stick out of the 205 case by about 3 1/2". This was used behind later model SM465 trannies and later TH400 trannies, from about '85 to '91 in straight axle 1-ton trucks. The NP205 yoour looking for has the round bolt pattern not the old figure-8. It will bolt right up to a NV 4x4 with a small adaptor to clear the shifter or you can have the case machined. They are hard to find and Pricey... about 4-600 and higher from a wrecking yard.
