I wonder about using a NV3500.....
That is what I am planning to use in my project with a 292. Should be plenty strong, they were using them behind Chevy 1/2ton trucks with V8s. The overdrive should be nice. Plus the big advantage in my eyes is the hydraulic throwout. Which to me means easier installation. Similar in size to a powerglide/Th350. Only drawback would be the electronic speedo.... but I think you can now get gauges and adapters that allow you to convert to other speedos.... or just use GPS.
They are pretty cheap. I paid $175 for mine in used condition and see them fairly regularly for $250 or so on craigslist. They made/make different performance shifters for them as well.
