I used a 700r4 (auto w/OD) in my 58 and a NV3500 5spd (manual OD) in my 66 with a low hump. Not sure how tight it would be in the 58 but it's a decent trans. I prefer the auto as I drive in traffic here in CA and shifting gets irritating. Both trucks have 350SBC & original rear ends, with OD freeways are not a problem, 80mph at 2500 rpm.
