Like RK says, you'll need a 3sp bellhousing. This plate adapts transmission to transfer, and you'll need the 3spd gear, iirc, that fits the o/p shaft of the 465. In short, grab a 3sp case if you don't already have one. This plate clocks the t/c up a bit, so you can run a nearly flat skid, and the linkage still (barely) clears the tub. I have a pilot bearing for you, but you'll need a t/o bearing and 11" Chevy clutch disc. A small piece of exhaust tubing will sleeve the front bearing retainer on the 465 so it will mate with the t/o bearing. You'll also need to get the front bearing retainer turned down on the 465 b/c the diameter is a bit large for the 3sp bellhousing. You'll need a couple of other things, like a thick washer, and a spacer for the output shaft, but my machinist can hook all that up too.

Cool - I've been reading up on this link and it has a lot of the same info that you just detailed but incorporates the Orion (which I will not be going with at this point)
