You could quite literally buy 10x NV3500's for the price of one NV4500 conversion. Not only is there is the up front cost of the 4500, a 3500 is a bolt in replacement for a 700r4, they are identical in mounting and dimensions only requiring you to cut a hole in the floor for the boot and add a clutch pedal.
Most 6.2's will handle an NV3500 just fine, just make sure you use the right sized clutch so it can slip a bit if you slam in and let off the clutch too fast. Also understand that you can rebuild an NV3500 to be much stronger for significantly less than an NV4500 up front.
My 120hp 6.2 has a WELL WORN NV3500 and thus far it works OK, but my truck will likely never pull much beyond a trailer at 15mph in a yard on occasion. Its geared WAY to high and was meant as a craft mobile.
