compatible manual transmissions for Magnum engines

[reek]

so I'm getting closer to filling the mechanicals in on my 1972 stepside D100.

I plan on being lazy and going with an ATK crate motor, 290 hp

anyone know if the NV3500/NV4500 or Getrag 238 manuals can be used behind the magnum block without major modification?

any help would be appreciated.

I believe the nv4500 had a gas bell-housing for the 5.9 magnum in the 2500s in the 90s. The 5.2 and 5.9 has the same bell-housing. Not sure prior. I remember looking for one when I had my 97 1500 with a 5.2 magnum I was going to swap

thanks crazykid, I assumed it was just a matter of tracking down a compatible bell housing. I'd like to go NV4500 over the 3500 since it's considered a more HD transmission with only a 100 lb penalty. Ideally, 6 speed manual / Getrag would be best. I'm just wondering how hard it will be to track that bell housing down. This is my first major Mopar frame off project. didn't really recognize just how little support there is for the 72 + trucks. I guess not so popular compared to Ford and GM.

I'm a little fuzzy on what fits what too... but here's the bellhousing on a Jeep Liberty V6 (6spd NSG370). It may share patterns with 4.7 and 5.7.
