I am thinking any M 46 trans will work as long as you have the 240 NA bell housing. The biggest pain is sorting out the pilot bearing. The Diesel trannys have a shrink fit bushing on the main shaft to fit into the stock pilot bearing. Mine cracked and I am using a brass bushing for a pilot bearing now. Still likes to bind once in a while.
