Slant and a 5 or 6 speed manual trans

Here's some dimensions on the NV4500, if you're interested. Not sure about the bolt pattern on the slant bell but this might help you with some measurements.

I'm going this route on my '78 F250 and keeping the 3 speed bell. Besides being versatile, the NV4500 for the Dodge truck can be had at a relatively low cost. One of my vendors quoted me $350, complete, out of a wrecked 360 truck.
