NP have Al top covers with 4 shift rails, Clark Al top covers in some, have an 'o' in their MN as above, most all have an 'o' in the MN. Retainer dia might be larger than 3 or 4 speed, bore bellhousing out. There are short(like most 3 speeds) and long input shafts, 10" or so, for 14" clutch, so if one gets long one, better get the whole assembly.
There is a factory GM adapter that puts a small block on a 14" clutch assembly, consists of 1/4" plate to register and bellhousing, I have one if you need px.
One of the problems is OD is gotten by taking 3rd. gear position, so, if one has a load, no two speed axle, then you are stuck in 2nd 'til top of hill.
