Adapting a latter overdrive transmission to a 6 cyl is not somthing I've explored, however I have put the latter 833 4spd overdrive transmissions behind the older Chrysler hemis. It requires adaptors, moving the shifter to the floor and loss of the trans mounted parking brake, but for me it is well worth it. This might be somthing you would like to look into. By the way my 57 Plaza that is receiving a 354 hemi and 4 speed was picked very reasonably due the rod sticking out of the block on the 6 Cyl.
