Default Dodge NV3500 into 60s and 70s Dodges

Has anyone actually done this? The NV3500 is the transmission from the modern 5 speed Dodge Dakotas. I see that Lakewood makes a bellsousing to adapt an NV3500 (as well as any NV or NP transmission) to B/RBs.

I am just looking to put a decent overdrive transmission into my 68 Monaco.

What are your thoughts?
