There's also the standard Saginaw 4-sp and the BW Super-T10...  if budget 
is the consideration, the Sag is most likely gonna be the cheapest unless 
you find somebody who believes his Muncie is junk (which it isn't) because 
it has a "weak case" and wants to give it away, or you turn up a T10 that's 
a thorn in somebody's side, same reason.    The Sag isn't the most robust 
gearbox on the planet but it ain't bad either, and will live nicely behind 
a 350 if the driver doesn't go around sidestepping the clutch and the 
engine is pretty much stock.

I've seen GM intermediate car Sag gearboxes on Ebay sell for less than 250 
bucks.   (far cry from what a 18-spline Mopar A833 gearbox sells for these 
days)

Corvair parts hunters should feel glad that a Vair 4-speed gearbox can 
still be had relatively cheap compared to what you have to cough up for 
larger car 4-speed gearboxes these days.
