C6 if you want a bullet proof tough unit.
AOD if you want overdrive.

I would personally go for the C-4, it will take less power to run.

Anything that would fit a 302 should fit.

C4 has an 11% loss
C6 has a 22% loss
AOD has 11-14% loss (depends on the model and the site you are on) AND has an OD gear.

FMX and Cruse-o-matics might work but those top 3 are better.

Don't know if our prices are relative to Texas, but I've paid as much as $350 for a "guaranteed to work" at regular yards. The U Pull It's around here charge about $75, but that's pretty much As Is, if it works; great, if it doesn't; tough.
