Best advice I can give is WATCH OUT FOR CHECKER. If it were me, I'd be talking to a reputable transmission shop.

Yah, but their computer knows what it's talking about. The wrong part isn't a bargain. I'd also like to see what warranty you get from Checker. A friend bought a long block there. He has gotten pretty good at swapping out long blocks. I don't need the practice. Just my opinion, not trying to be a wise guy

well if its original 4 speed and nothing is listed on glovebox sticker then you have a CH465 if the shift handle is a really tall skinny round shaft and painted black with a black round knob with 1234R or L234R on it
