Tranny Swap

Thinking of changing from the factory NP435 4-speed to a C6 4x4 auto, any thoughts or concerns on this move.

I wouldn't mind keeping a manual trans, but I need another gear for highway driving. Any ideas on a tranny that would help solve this problem. It's in a 78 ranger w/351m. I'm open to any ideas. Thanks.

The C6 has the same high gear as the 435 which is 1.1
The cheapest swap would a ZF 5 spd manual trans which has an overdrive.
You could swap in a E4OD but you'll find it a little pricey.
The AOD requires an adapter and IMHO it's junk.
As soon as I finish other projects I've been working on, I will be swaping out the C6 for a NV4500 in my 79 Bronco. I got every thing I need to do it except time. I bought a rebuildable trans did the work myself two adapters from Advance and it's still cheaper than a E4OD.

How easily does the NV4500 hook up to a 351m/400? I've read only a little about them, and it sounded like it would be a good idea.
